Ode to a Pleasurous Life

One who pursues knowledge is one who pursues unhappiness. 

A man who pursues pleasure finds joy in everything. 

The sinful man suffers The One’s wrathfulness, 

The righteous man finds happiness beyond measuring. 

Taken for granted some pleasures go unnoticed, 

Little things in life bring satisfaction and delight, 

Pursuing the unaquisitionable is foolishness. 

But keeping hope always, and dreams focused, 

Brings an end to fright and reveals light, 

And the music of life; no longer tuneless.
