Purpose
I am happy with my wife
And my friends around me -
I am happy with my life,
Long and lavish, rich and rife,
And the fate that found me.
I was lucky with my mother
And my father too -
Lucky with my elder brother,
With my birthplace, or the other
Where and when and who.
I was also very ill
As a child and later -
Life was like a pepper mill,
Grinding for a better skill,
Grasping for the greater.
I was sometimes disappointed
By disloyal liars -
People, just in phases jointed,
Who with their behavior pointed
Selfish desires.
I was challenged, I was fighting
First for you, then me -
All my parts felt like uniting,
I found writing quite exciting,
So I did, you see.
My existence was divided
Into life and work -
My way, your way coincided,
Hence, my discrepancy guided:
Future in the lurk.
