Should we live a hedonistic life,
And so do whatever gives us pleasure?
And have we enough cash in our banks
To live a life of leisure?

Should we give into temptation,
And thereby satisfy our cravings?
Should we buy ourselves lots of luxuries
By digging deep into our savings?

So what gives us satisfaction?
What is it that we want or need?
And if it comes not from things and money
What sort of life should we now lead?

So can we find contentment
While still being modest and poor?
And enjoy the freedom of this world
Knowing not what the day will have in store?
