Choices

The more I learn, the less I know I know,

The more I live, the older I become,

The more I do, the more that there is to be done,

The more I give, the more that there is to be given.

The more I earn, the more that I can spend,

The more that I love, I do not want to reveal,

The more I hope, the sages forecast doom,

The more I lend, the more I shall receive.

The more I feel, the more I know that I want to feel not so much,

As if given another chance to do what you should have done.
