We Want

We want bigger homes And a smaller family. We want mountain tops and Flowers in the valley. We want more convenience, We have less time. We all have our hills and Mountains to climb. We want more degrees, But no common sense. We want things to change, Yet, we are on the fence. We want more knowledge, We have less judgement. We have more crime, A glutton for punishment. We want more experts, yet we Create bigger problems. We expect what we plant To blossom. We want more medicine, But we're less healthy. Everyone is getting fat, But the wealthy. We have been to the moon And back. We have lost our way, On the wrong track. We built more computers to Hold more information. To make conversation, we open More lines of communication. We want more quantity, We get less quality. We want equal rights, yet Deal with equality. We want a variety of fast foods, We have slow digestion. We want the first date To pop the question. We want to be taller, We are short on character. We want to meet new people, Yet there is a barrier. We want more profits, yet we Have shallow relationships. We want more friends, But we have fewer partnerships. Our garages are full, Our homes are empty. We want it to be colder, We become more sweaty. Turbo1904 ?
