We all want our cake and eat it too, but...

 

The Grand Illusion
By
Bill Cottringer
 
We have this grand illusion,
That creates much confusion—
That we can actually have
Our cake & eat it too;
Try as we may though,
To have two hands full,
Both are always empty;
At least until we finally see,
The absolute necessity,
To focus on the one hand,
Getting it as full as we can stand,
Then letting the other guard it.
The Prosperity Zone
