Of Necessities

Need something to hold on to

Not something to fall back on

We're at war

That much I know

I do not want a bed

Only a sword

That's symbolic

Of victories

Of battles

And of war cry

Everything comes down to this

 

Everything comes down to this

Your fears. Your anxieties

Your confidence or lack of it

Your investments and expenses

Your discipline and your indulgences

Your health and sleep

The care you take in your relationships

Who you invest in; And who you earn for

What you read and for how long you don’t

The time you spend learning

And the time you spend earning

Who you choose to fight and who to please

Everything you do, and everything you do not

Every way you feel – your moods, mental age

Convictions and trepidations

It is a trade-off

Between tomorrow and 15 years later.

 

Think in radically long time spans
