Things

Are the “Things” that we have

The “Things” we really need?

Are the “Things” that we want,

Out of necessity or greed?

 

“Things” are all the items

We are told that we must get,

Putting the naive misguided people

Deeper and deeper into debt

 

Told to us by big corporations

With their lying alluring ads

By a greedy society’s self-indulgence

Falling for the falseness and ridicules new fads

 

THINGS,THINGS…. THINGS

And more “Things”

New houses, stylish clothes

Nice cars and diamond rings.

 

How many “Things”

Does a person have to obtain

Before they finally realize

They are just greedy, selfish and vain

 

That is why I keep my “Things”

Few and far between

Because the ugliness of always wanting

To me is clearly seen

 

My humble life is packed

With everything that I really need

And I am free of all the want

Vanity and greed

 

My heart and soul are full

With Love, and the happiness it brings

Because I finally realized the best “THINGS” in life

Aren’t  at all material “Things”
