Why am I not enough -- why am I not more, The bright of increase blinds my thoughts, Blood and sweat will spend it all, To gain my freedom from the tyrant Wants, I sit down by the roasting boar, With fleeting joy I revel in my spoil, My thoughts yearn still for the elusive more, Enough it seems I will never employ.

I might be Gekko
Why am I not enough -- why am I not more, The bright of increase blinds my thoughts, Blood and sweat will spend it all, To gain my freedom from the tyrant Wants, I sit down by the roasting boar, With fleeting joy I revel in my spoil, My thoughts yearn still for the elusive more, Enough it seems I will never employ.
Inspired by the pressures of expectation
