The cauldron of wanting; the crucible of love and justice 

To have little and few aspirations is certainly no crime 

But when one is overambitious, one can no longer be benign 

For ruthlessness sets in when one is solely devoted to objectives 

When we repress all things that exclude our prerogatives 

The more we have, the more we want, is the cause for restlessness 

not equanimity; for to value the little that we have begets happiness 

Should we then sacrifice peace and joy for the grandeur of over-achievement 

Our wisdom should be excluding what we want, but to settle for what is meant 

For true valour is in sublimating to destiny’s unrelenting will 

To seek any other way is a futile resisting of what is eventual 

Instead, can we not direct our energies to altruism and philanthropy 

To be humble in power and strength and to pursue selfless glory 

Justice and fairness should supersede our personal will and influence our love 

That should be our unceasing call of duty, to heed to the voice from above 

For the truth is: the most sought-after desire for our souls to befit 

Is to make the reality of love as perfect as the idea of it
