Somewhere else

Are we the only species on the planet that always wants to be somewhere else?

We carefully choose the location in which we will reside

We carefully decorate and upgrade our humble abode

We turn our gardens into an oasis of peace and tranquillity within a troubled world

And when we feel that we have sufficiently gilded the lily

That’s when we start to think maybe we should move

Are we nomadic by nature never content with what we have?

Perhaps we don’t have the wit to appreciate our surroundings

Were on a never ending quest to find nirvana

And when we think we’ve found it we will undoubtedly want to be somewhere else
