DISCONTENT-a definition by Russell Miller

Background-I live in a world of discontent.  This powerful word can be used to describe my every waking moment.  It is a horrible way to live, always wanting more, never satisfied, filled with want.  However, I don't feel it is my fault.  It is a problem with mankind, for when you throw an intity that bases everything on a finite system of thinking into a place that has no bounds, problems are bound to arise.  How can you truly set goals when they can be achieved?  And why would you set goals that couldn't be achieved.  I am unhappy with this system, this system that says, "Spend time doing something for some distinct reason or for some outcome, and then when you reach it, find something new."  It all seems trivial.  I want a goal that is attainable, but one that will last all my life.  I want something that will keep me interested forever, never allowing me to take my mind off of it.  Do such diversions exist? 


I live in a place of discontent.
No trains or planes to leave upon.
A place where no rockets can travel to the top
A place where no bus will take you to the end of the line.
The world is full of everything, no limits or walls
This place is so depressingly empty and small
The want of satisfaction,
complete, total, and infinite satisfaction
But I won't see it all, I won't hear or smell it all
I won't dream of a millionth of it all
So I am discontent, my soul's favorite emotion
I rename this place, for all of eternity, Want
Very much do I want, but I am not even content with that
