Egyptian Wants

When will I have what I do not?
When will I feel what I do not feel?
When can I know what I do not know?
When will I be what I want to be?

When I am content and ideas collapse.
When I in love's soft arms relax.
When I am old and about to die.
When I have no purpose and have no fire,
I will posess what I desire.
