Is it you I strive

or you too,

combined you are responsible

such headaches I endure,

the thought of a lesser life

wondering if when

somehow

in my head

in the deep recess of my mind,

this ambition,

some protocol

stated clearly one day

be this or that

a then and when

and yet,

all the sum of our efforts

begin to lay in question

and we will wonder in silence …

What about the other guy?
