Cornucopia

We live a lush life
Options each and every turn
Taken for granted

Satisfaction a foreign concept
Forever wanting more
Striving to accumulate
Cornucopia everywhere
Stuff we can’t take with us
Stuff preoccupies our minds
Ends up cluttering our hearts
Stuff that ends up owning us
Surprised to one day realize
How we don’t need all that stuff

Less is so much more
