Cravings

Cravings cause our souls to lie To become possessed by our possessions They drive us Restricting any peace Reduce and simplify all things Aligning them to our conditions They’re a robe, richly colored A garment for our minds Enveloping our sense of reality Unfeeling, cheap costume coverings Their very nature, deception Pretending to be what we’re not A self inflicted blindness Blocking the reason for our lives © Copyrights G.

It's called greed, materialistic obsession. It's getting worse as we "progress." Glad to see you back. Vince
