Peaceful is a life to live,
Without the happiness part of it...
As of yet detected or suspected,
Could, should and can be taxed...
By those determining,
That having too much of a good thing...
Would cause a depreciation,
Of a valued stress...
Too many, if they wished with it desired,
To just let go of obsessing it.
Or have it re-possessed to discover happiness,
For them is cheaper and more reasonable to keep.
And also finding it, once obtained, to be cost effective!
Lawrence S. Pertillar
