What is the secret to find happiness?

What is the secret to find happiness
Is there a shortcut to finding the bliss
Why so much shit through which we my shift
A constant struggle we never must quit

Its seems because
Value for us
Is higher with struggle behind it
If it came to easy
If would depreciate quickly
And people are so fast to forget
With a struggle to prove
They got their scars too
In the end, they say “completely worth it”
They wear them with pride
The struggle survived
Contentment is the best reward to get
It would seem on this path
The trick is to laugh
Even when in some deep shit
One the other side clean
Is no mere pipe dream
We can climb out of out own pit
Worth clawing and fights
For a cause that is right
Relax and sometime enjoy a gimlet
Can’t fight all the time
All must relax and unwind
Or the sanity become a target

What is the secret to finding happiness
Should we all bow, pray, and confess
Is this life here merely a test
For a prize that awaits in the life that is next

The case of the now
Makes us all say wow
With the smallest objects of wonder
A flower in the spring
Or a little diamond ring
All serve as a friendly reminder
There is beauty out there
For all those who choose care
And she’s waiting for us to find her
Or him if you like
True joy for you is what’s right
Not obeying the laws of another
All must realize
Joy and happiness lie
On planes that are asunder
Joy is much more
Than a passing repoire
It touches down to the center
But this doesn’t mean
A moment must seem
Less important the all the future
But beauty exists
In big and smallness
Its spell we can all fall under

What is the secret to finding happiness
Can it be found in a woman’s caress
Or perhaps it may be the wheels of success
Many never find it here. They have to much repressed

While laying in a woman’s sweet arms
You may feel complete and safe from harm
But this rarely does prove to be true
She is for right then
What often happens
In a month you are ready for a woman new
Try to keep faith
With temptation you mayeth
Find that your whole relationship in big skew
But monogamy finds
Some people and binds
What is the secret of those select few?
Is there a code
A successful combo
So I can be faithful too?
Is there a spell
In earth or in hell
To keep your mind and body in sooth
But what of success
It must be the best
Path to have your shit fully proved
On this path you may find
Many land mines
To keep you from following through
What is the secret to finding happiness
This pursuit can be the noblest quest
As long as you don’t forget the rest
Instead lead, be a moral compass

A journey, a mission
Just go forth, don’t ask permission
To sprout the truest of seed
Water them so
You can watch them grow
And provide for so many people in need
A teacher, a doctor
A Lenin like rocket
All live by the same creed
Change the world for the better
Whether with work or with letters
This is the path to the true happiness
Helping out others is not just a jest.

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
