Sages, Greek, surmised that happiness can’t be controlled
Mere random acts of favor from the gods on us bestowed.
But current thought has turned a page
Pursuit of bliss is all the rage
Where legislators wield the power once held by gods of old.

Thanks PJ. I decided to do a bit of research on the word happy. Hence the inspiration for this ironic twist. 🙂

It is ironic don’t you think? It struck me that even though we think we’re evolved and more civilized, nothing has really changed. Just the players.
