what you're looking for

it takes a while, some years,
decades perhaps
for you to realize that the rich
are no happier
than the poor.
that it's all a game.
a wash.
they just hide it better
behind
the house, the car,
the girl.
while the poor find
a way to soothe the pain,
with drink
or pills,
or whores.
it takes time to understand
the game.
that you what you really need,
what will make you happy,
has nothing to do
what you've been looking
for.
