"All Or Nothing"

Freedom to do
Freedom to say,
Too much of anything
Gets in the way.
Dieing of thirst
At the ocean of drink,
Too much of that
And no more will you think.
Why is it that,
The human we are,
We can't get enough
Of near and of far.
It's all or it's nothing,
There's something in us,
Creates all the torment
And breeds all the fuss.
So try as I might
And be as it may
To not let it get us,
Brings on a new day!
