MORE
By Molly Bolte

It is said
there must be more to life than this

Surely
more than chasing MORE, BETTER, DIFFERENT


Tell me
there must be more to life than this
more than chasing pleasure and fearing pain

Make me beautiful
make me attractive
make me desirable
make me interesting
make me competitive
make me a winner
keep me forever young

Leave my family
change my friends
change my religion

Change my address
change my diet
get a new degree
get a new job

If and when rule my life
When and if control me

Fear and anxiety haunt me
What if follows me everywhere

Fear poverty
Fear oppression
Fear shame
Fear illness
Fear pain
Fear aging
Fear death
Fear boredom
Fear anonymity
Fear loneliness

Where is security?
Where is safety?
Where is real rest and peace?
Where is love?

Who gets the gold?
Who wins the game?
Why them?
Why me?

Who wins the award?
Who gets the title?
Who is a success?
Why them?
Why me?

Who gets the defects?
Who gets the disadvantages?
Who gets the special needs?
Who gets the undesirable DNA?
Why them?
Why me?

Who gets the shame?
Who gets the pain?
Who gets the suffering?
Why them?
Why me?

Where are the answers?
What are the rules?
What is the meaning of it all?

Does anyone know?

There must be more to life than this
more than chasing MORE, BETTER, DIFFERENT
