This is the human problem-
over-doing
over-stretching
over-struggling
over-speaking­
over-desiring
over-claiming
over-demanding
over-thinking
over-pursuing
over-in­quiring
over-expecting
over-acquiring
over-self-glorifying

people can't stay still:
the joy of living
they are missing
too late comes
the self-realising
by then
they are on
their bed dying
sobbing
and regretting
