He was happy in his paradise
Success of others he would despise
Weaving his world of web around
With self satisfying arguments
He was bound
What good is property?
What good is wealth?
Why take trouble?
Why spoil health?
What you have,
Why not adore?
What you have not,
Why not abhor?
Why spoil time,
In applying mind?
Give yourself rest,
Rest is best
A perfect example
Of a foolish wise
He preferred to live
In a fool’s paradise.
