Curse

Is present moment hard

To live with?

That we keep eyes off it!

Education systems, advertisements,

motivational speakers, friends

Motivating for a better future

Better? How do we define it?

Through the success of fairness cream

Or a degree, investing in that house?

Being in that constant rush

Always?

In illusion of false good?

Is the present moment

Cursed by evil?

After hardships of past

We look up at sky

For better future?

To beg universe to make it happen

Is this value of our present moment?
