Plenty have tried,
Few have succeeded, they say;
‘Cause, you can’t change people,
You’ll be a fool to try;
I wonder:
How are we all still here, then?
It can’t just be coincidence, surely!
Perhaps, it’s influencing the habits;
Linking need to goals;
For, people ultimately change only if they chose to,
All you can do meanwhile, is:
Earnestly, advise.
The circles we move in,
Are not circles but squares,
Keeping to the corners,
Feeling isolated from the rest;
Like we were eccentric millionaires,
Except poorer by some measures,
Richer in others,
Who are we to adjudge-
Be it circle, square or triangle and your place therein-
When you are the one feeling left-out?
Self-indulgence and narcissism bring their own poverty;
For, whatever your station in life-
(Real, perceived, envied or longed for),
You cannot help wanting to belong.
