Searching

There is a need to find things to do
No matter when, where, how… with time, with place
Too many needs and desires unreal
Yet as always we search on for consequences to face

High and low, day and night
And we never can quench our desires an ever
Our desperate plea remains but voices that hide
Causing humans in humanity to be humane lesser

Are we all learnt enough to be in content?
Yet always to be overwhelmed when something new comes along
Lives a need perhaps… forever till the end
Simply a search for something out of nothing to stumble upon

Living a life, falling in love and finding work
Having found yet finding still for comfort to maintain
Realism made for our troubled minds to flirt
An individual to think different to humanities yet the same

Searching for things to do is forever a need
No matter whenever, however, beyond time, atween space
Too many needs and desires to only seek
Discontentment for one’s contentment need we chase?
