Being toys so little
In the hands of the Maker
With a little happiness
Exercised by a few
Exorcised by many
Throughout history
Is it the highest good?
Is it knowledge?
Is it health?
A moral code in the system
Of teleological measurements
Choices and actions
Open to man
Degree of achievement or frustration
Applied knowledge and
Rational thinking
Solving the job of survival
Drawing the analogy
Between material currency and
Spiritual currency
One spends to pay
For one’s values in life
Characteristic values and
Cardinal values
Of ethical objectives
Enmeshing the essence of happiness
Is this rational or irrational?
Is Capable of dealing with reality?
Nay, man is a blind misfit,
A chip buffeted by the universal flux!
What is good? Or what is evil?
Is primary concern quest for joy?
Or is it escape from suffering?
Is Self-fulfillment or
Self-destruction
Goal of man’s life?
Should man pursue his values?
Should he place the interest of others
Above his own?
Is it seeking happiness or
Seeking self-sacrifice?
My efficacious conscience
Is unable to comprehend!
