Enjoy

americans have more to enjoy life with
than others around the world
but enjoy it less
we are workholics
that think we need
very expensive lifestyles
always wanting more bigger better
it becomes larger than we are
because there is always something
that needs to be fixed or done
that we don't like to do
so we hire someone to do it
and because we can't cope with them
leave it all behind
and go on exotic vacations
to get away from what we work ourselves
to death for every week
because we want it all
it takes a lifetime of distress
to figure out work worry and stress
are not really what we want
we need to do everything slower
drink more wine be happy and laugh
be content with what nature gave us
and don't take ourselves so seriously
we need to forgive and forget
we need to love ourselves
before the society we are creating
becomes more and more impossible
and finally there is no place
to go to enjoy
