Pursuit of 'Happiness'

By RiVeN

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

What you may believe Maybe different from what the government may perceive What you may say is right They'll say it's wrong An uphill battle Lasting horrendously long Happiness is only defined by the law If happy to you is being drunk off your ass Then you my friend are walking on glass Life, liberty, and the pursuit of something fake The insanity of the situation is too much for me to take "Happiness" is a mere joke And the people do not get the punchline And someunfortunately end up doing timeA short one. But gets the message across nonetheless Written March 12th, 2002 © on Mar 12 2002 09:14 AM PST   0 • 9
