I
At present
Life is the present
And not sustenance
II
At present, money in the pocket
Is like a plug in a socket
But even without light, humans lived
III
We smell our desire’
And have not what they require
To help us acquire
IV
But still, life is a present
Because we’re able to see the present
And are able to talk of the pastt and the recent
V
That is all we need
That we can eventually feed
No matter how distasteful, is life,
Yes, the seed of life

Life is a gift to be sure and all ‘things’ we present as gifts or seem to need to give ourselves to keep up with others – not so much. Easy to get trapped there. Your wisdom is staggering.
