And the fish swim in the lake

Maybe it is not considered "cool" to find a poem that was introduced to me in school so incredibly profound....but I can't deny that this poem is just what I have always wanted to say but couldn't put into words. Enjoy it please than I shall explain thoroughly. I even made a T-shirt that says "abd the fish swim in the lake and don not even own clothing:

Salutation

 

O generation of the thoroughly smug

  and thoroughly uncomfortable,

I have seen fishermen picnicking in the sun,

I have seen them with untidy families,

I have seen their smiles full of teeth

  and heard ungainly laughter.

And I am happier than you are,

And they were happier than I am;

And the fish swim in the lake

  and do not even own clothing.

                                                                                       Ezra Pound

Generation on smug and uncomfortable: that is the rich people. the ones that are never fufilled and want more and more with every material item they recieve. 
Fishermen and their laughs: that is middle class, but the happiness is sooooo temporary. They smile, they laugh, but it leaves. 
He is happier: ezra pound is much happier for he does not have things to make him want more. And the untidy families are happier than he for they have even less to worry about.
and the fish! the FISH! they swim in the lake....without anything. and they do not even own clothiung! and look. just look how happy a darn fish is. much happier than i. much more content than you. this is brilliant
