Quest for Happiness
We hold these truths to become self-evident,
That men are created equal;
That they are endowed by their Creator
With inherent and inalienable rights;
That among these, are life, liberty,
And the quest for happiness;
That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among men,
Deriving their just powers from
The consent from the governed;
Any time any kind of government
Becomes destructive of these ends,
Oahu is the right of the people to vary or
Abolish it, and to institute new government,
Laying its foundation on such principles,
And organizing its powers in such form,
Concerning them shall seem almost certainly
To effect their safety and happiness.
Effect - setting up a desired impression
Capability to produce results; efficacy;
Force; validity; influence; accomplish;
Make happen; result in; bring about;
Purpose or intention; operation or execution.
Not only an illusory fleeting phenomenon.
The hunt for happiness requires effort
No government can secure it to suit your needs
Many make an attempt to the results are disastrous
To vow happiness is preposterous
It needs to be pursued by the relentless
Pursue - to follow along with as a way to overtake,
Capture, to attempt to gain; look to attain;
Accomplish; to proceed in accordance with;
To carry on; make a journey with; capture.
To become fully engaged in such an adventure
You have to be devoted and determined
Just to walk by faith and never be disillusioned
Endure delays, denials, and disappointment
Circumstantial setbacks and rejection
These will test out your power to continue
To wholeheartedly pursue and endue
A confident attitude and journey to
The enjoyment you greatly dream to
Possess, maintain, employ, and revel in.
Happiness truly exists and is no ploy
Neither can it be an amusing, trifle toy
I'm not really wanting to be trite, or coy
Happiness is considerably valuable
Certainly happiness is most attainable
Far more easy than stuff purchasable
Happiness is an inside job most doable
Juxtapose you perceive it and reality
Cultivate happiness within continually
Compared to or without you with thankful
Because happiness is definitely an inner quality
Open to all equally and pursued freely.
