Picked Value
Each morning you get up,
What do you hanker for,
Something of value,
Off course or on,
Otherwise the life is waste,
You want food of your like,
Fun that you do not dislike,
People who do not spike,
Money which come anyway despite,
Easy living in short for least effort,
The moment you see value,
You stop and measure competition,
If required you fight,
For the "right bite",
What do you get when you have the value,
For how long do you enjoy it,
It is ephemeral,
And temporal,
With time value recedes,
And it is only an also ran,
Now you are hankering for another value,
To me you appear like a rag picker,
Wandering streets for his value.
