the tension of my tensions

Ah...

to be clever, or to be humble;
to be right, or to get right;
to win the day, or remember the battle;
to be served, or to serve.

And once I decide, to in the next moment wonder,
"to be clever, or to be humble;
to be right, or to get right;
to win the day, or remember the battle;
to be served, or to serve."
