Discontented

Discontented 


No happiness to the mind
Despite of a beautiful house 
And, yet, desiring for another big palace; 

No happiness to the mind 
Despite of a good job and pay with status
And, yet, searching for a big job; 

No happiness to the mind
Despite of wealth sufficient for generations 
And, yet, longing to become a billionaire; 

No happiness to the mind 
Despite of an ideal and pretty wife
And, yet, hunting for another gorgeous lady;  

No happiness to the mind
Despite of joy and peace
And, yet, craving for some more pleasure; 

Fatigued in this fight for life
The mind’s still struggling
For more struggles for the life;

Now it’s the time for the life 
To leave this world
And it’s a must for the mind to accept
But now it got the desire to live more with peace
Which it lost in its race;

But unfortunately it’s too late
The time’s over  
The struggle’s ended!

RK, thank you for sharing this powerful, inspirational message. Life is very short and we have to try to be happy today and not postpone it to tomorrow because as the saying goes - tomorrow is promised to no one! Best wishes to you, my friend!
