Some people get it
others are clueless
but even those who do
get forced to bounce off
the walls created by the maze
as years have developed
intricate pathways
leading to maybe one possibility
that of truth and happiness
finding real meaning of life
an existence proud
but many more finalities
not worth bragging about
unless your prizes
unclude materialistic things
because then you are no better
than the fancy things you think you own
and eventually time crashes upon you
realization of undeniable reality
that a life pursuing that of good
a helping hand for others
is the real way to go
and by finding your way
to do the most good for beneficiaries
and actually going that extra effort
means a life worth merit

Author's Note: Amazing how years pass and how my mind is constantly rearranging the things that matter most...
