Pursuit of Happiness

The constitution clearly states
That we have the right
To pursuit happiness.
…It says nothing about pursuing it at the cost of another’s happiness.
Be glad I can’t sue you for wasting my time
Or have you behind bars for killing my heart.
No.
According to the constitution, you are innocent.
…Nothing there about being too selfish.
But if I kill you
Or chop of one of your limbs
In my pursuit of happiness, I would be wrong.
Out of the two of us, only you can get away with murder.
And so I must lean on fair karma
For justice.
