Phantoms

Phantoms of men and their imaginings dreams in their mind and its wanderings reality may never touch the high sky in which fancy desires and cravings fly Man surrounded by fruit laden gardens, forests, woods, waterfalls, and animals, food, comfort and even loved ones desires to venture into far away lands The one on the road lonely and hungry scorched by heat and length of the day clutching to heart precious adventures longs for a place that he can call home Laboring for days at length the brawny young men tired of hard and dirty work envies the prince dwelling in palaces for his luxuries and his freedom of will While the prince stares out his window wondering how satisfying it must be to earn bread for themselves and families without a care towards the state affairs the women without beauty covet it so and the ones that have it are fed up so hoping to hide it somewhere in order to find a love that's true and passionate Old men lying in beds aspiring for youth the ones in their prime days for boyhood children want to go out to work and play and be tall and strong as fast as they may As hard to believe as it sounds but it is not far from the truth that man may never be satisfied with his share in life as the grass is indeed always greener on the other side
