Need vs Want

Today, humans are forgetting the difference between Need and Want. The poem is to make understand the difference.

Soft drinks are want,

water is need.

Want junk to taste,

need food to feed.

Want forts to stay,

need huts to live.

Want uniform to dress,

need clothes to protect.

Success is want,

learning from failures is need.

Shrewdness is want,

truthfulness is need.

It's high time to differ between need and want

to stop living idly

and start living ideally.

for we have forgotten in sake of want of us and ours

need of others.

For we have forgotten for the sake of our luxuries 

all our responsibilities.

Remember!

Wants destroy the life

and needs portray the life.......

Your wisdom is true in this poem. People who want everything at any cost. End up alone and sad. A wise man know kindness, being honest and doing the right things will lead you to a good place. I like the many strong examples in this poem. A very good ending to a outstanding poem. Thank you.

Nice one... how many times in life we confuse the two!

Excellent definitions Lively and a very true conclusion. We have conquered most of our needs in the western world and take them for granted too much and too often. Very well expressed, spence
