Daily Pursuit

We all conform to something Whether it’s to the outskirts of society Or whether it’s society as a whole There’s always something more A person wants to reach for And to achieve these goals It’s not always necessarily easy To go against the tide Only a select few can actually Manage that type of pressure And at the end of the day It’s not who you vote for Or the differences that separate us But the common interest At a chance of happiness I know it sounds farfetched But think about it Everything you do in your days entirety Evolves around two thoughts Your survival, Which includes money, food And other vital necessities And Secondly, Comfort Which is happiness At it’s finest disclosure Why do you think that old man Chases down the bus three blocks Just to get to work Why those less fortunate Sweep parking lots for your change And thought she has three children Yet She fails to surrender her hope Of a better living The substance that teases A wealthy mans hunger That little something that pushes A broken student further toward success That itch that gives you the assurance To take a chance, gamble… When you really don’t even have The confidence to What are you in pursuit of?
