Ultimate

Always looking for that ultimate

That ultimate whatever

Whatever you want

When you want it


What will you do when you get it?

What are the sacrifices  you had to make?

Was it all worth it?

Did it all end up as you had planned?


When the realization sets in

That you can’t take it with you

The materialism falls apart

And you are only left baring your soul
