Priority Disorder

Keeping up with the Joneses Tit for tat Caught up in competition "You got this? I'll get that" Let me 1up you Everything an attack "Whatever you do, I have to fight back" Destroying ourselves Breaking up our homes Pride over love Ending up alone The things that define us Are the things that we own The the things that we've done And the things that we've shown Driven by jealousy Feeding our greed Filled with envy Eyes glow green Superficial materialism Behavior obscene Prioritizing what we want Above what we need
