with ambition
money, power, position
these are things
we are taught
to pursue
and on attaining
will be satiated
The Great American Fiction
I recognized the persuasion
in the declaration
so I got small
went inward
but like wealth
contentment is no easy
aspiration
Simple, not easy
is the mode of operation
trite abstractions
honesty, humility, service
the guide
for daily interactions
unattainable is perfection
but in the pursuit lies satisfaction
