POEM_: More… of What?

More…    of What?


More power.
More fame.
More money.

Yes,
 I want more of these.
And more.

Why do I want
more and more  
of more and more?

Is not
this hole in my soul
unfillable?

Is not,
‘more’
a desire to arrive
at the most?

And, is not the most
unachievable
by a mere human?
Where is
my perspective?

Why don’t I want
the one thing
which I must want more of
if I want to arrive
at my destination
as opposed
to a way-station?

Perspective.
