How Much is Enough?
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Proud lips curl at her sight
Mind of ease robbed at
And to stormy seas,
And to wavering wind peace cast
Yet this giddy world is bent
Paying her court and tribute
This is not to deny
That money is not important
It is and can spare a basic safety net
Yet how much and how much
Is supposed to be better and the best
Gigantic is the ocean
Yet on the map of the world
It is no more than
The size of our little hand
And in galaxy, our planet
Looks like the size of a diamond
And in universe, our galaxy
Is no bigger than a seed
And in this creation infinite
The universe is a tiny dot
Thus dependent is the existence
On how we value what we have
In the big scheme of things
No matter how much we have
They will always be minuscule

Money is important! But it is not everything....! .How much is enough is a debated question! To many, there is no satiety and never a feeling of 'enough'! They go on craving for more and more and is never contented or happy! Great write!
