To Be Having or not to be having

 Some people don't want what they have

a baby, a love or a cab

Some people want what they don't have

And that can be harder to grab

But which is the better?

The having or the missing?

The loss or the obtaining

I'm not complaining

Or even saying

Whether one is wrong or right

It's not in our hands to fight

But if you never fight

Then you never might

Gain control of what you

Want but do not need

It is food for the soul

Or is it fuel for greed

It's a skill to know

Whether you fail or succeed

For there's still a while to go

Before the sands of time bleed
