With life this good what could remain of our pursuits
All the pretty things one would want are in our reach
all the dreams we had persist while we are awake
we but need to reach up and harvest those sweet fruits
and be given all we ask – no need to beseech
for it has been ordained this is all for our sake.
We need but define those luxuries we desire
and watch them take form in the hands of those who serve
for tasks are sure to be provided to us each
and we must be the beacon to which they aspire;
all get what they deserve.
Though should you find your destiny in jeopardy
do not agonize on thoughts that make us older
your place remains as always one of dominion
that place where the lesser people shall never be
for someone must always be pushing the boulder
to bring life to our valuable opinions.
Find the nearest sturdy back on which to crawl
to carry you to the other end of your dreams
for the world has put you there on their shoulders
and given those below endless reasons to fall
lest all this burst at the seams.
