What is the sum of it,
of all, of every material thing,
for the cost of such happiness,
far too often, in the struggle to achieve,
so, does come great suffering,
yes, there is an imbalance,
that far outweighs the worth of everything,
for of such dedication,
when you look at it,
earning and earning and earning,
it is not worth the pain,
and the heartache that it may bring.
