Philosophy 101
In life, we get to pick and choose
And live with each decision.
There’s more to it than win or lose
For what we might envision
Most often won’t exactly match
Reality’s rendition
And even if we start from scratch
To bring it to fruition
Another road may take us where
We’d never planned to travel;
Despite some welcome plusses there,
Our souls may still unravel.
Therefore to this lesson heed:
Wanting gets usurped by need.
