Communal Coexistence

Give me all that you want for yourself,
I seemed to say it to all and all times,
they seemed to say about the same to me,
where do we go from here,
Is it really a zero sum game,
Land is there enough for all,
If I have ahouse villa mile long,
and you have a rat hole,
probably not,
water is it again there for all,
some bathe in champagne,
and others in mosquito larvae infested drains,
there seems to be shortage,
some breathe green touched air freeing flow,
others take in a mix from adozen chimneys and factories,
same holds for all that we created,
against the price tags,
we all seem to hanker for more,
what is that link,
which glues us to matter,
so that nothing comes latter,
I am confused,
its allright somethings I want,
and you do not,
but most fundamentally we are competititors,
is there no way out,
for robust communal coexistence,
find a way,
and let me know,
because then I wanna let everyone know.
