universal cross cultural requirements
basic necessities people in all societies need
food water shelter warmth security light
for seekers of utopian perfections
desiring aspired to harmonious lifestyles
how do we prosper attain happiness?
optimum health states of mind
desired before attaining true happiness
achieved deleting anger fear guilt negative forces?
allows golden El Dorado peace of mind
if adequate sleep exercise eating healthy food
is on menu high energy good health may be attained?
but alas recipe love can mix this fix
whirlwind courtships loving relationships vortex
turbulence instabilities cold hot currents gradients vex?
love is perplexity puzzle
personalities to muzzle
or bliss overcoming troubles?
togetherness
in relationships
short flirts
long term romantics
paternal friends
trust lovejoy memories
life lines leak lead
on leading into avoiding
sorrow moody moments
love parental care carelessness
lust happiness a bizarre mix fix
dispense with delete love choose
security
financial freedom buys
sense of security
has no definitive
purchase price
money may not
buy conclusive happiness
but an absence of money
desperately needed money
can lead to multitudes
of complicated problems
commitments ideals goals
self life purpose justifications
reasons for exemption living
life purpose purposes for life
battle of wills driving humanity
money is not immunity impunity
from problems but elite privilege
implies law entrenched
freedom from imposed
requirements mass herd
is branded
corralled
sentenced
to by corporate elite
wealth manipulation
imposed sanctions
universal cross cultural requirements
basic necessities people in all societies need
food water shelter warmth security light
wage slaves
must blood bleed
to purchase...
as government
privatization polices
acid eat public
quality of life
erode previous
union rights...
a basic human right
to quality of life for all
include suffering humanity?
government
may provide
basic protection
from weather extremes
a refuge haven allowed
tin sack slum city edges...
establishment provides
temporary housing
for homeless peoples
yes spent millions billions
spent on hightech fortress
new concrete slave prisons...
state provided guarded
sheltered sheltering shelters
built taxation profit facilities! ! !
