I should be happy with my scaled-down life;
After all, I'm privileged:
I don't have to worry about

What shall I eat?
Where shall I sleep?
How will I survive another week?

And yet, regardless of where one falls
Along the gross spectrum of humanity,
There's always a better, more attractive option
On the far side of an invincible wall.
One must strive for it,
Or collapse in a torrent of tears.
