Inundated

They’re not materialistic whores
But they want more

They drive a Benz
But they want a Bentley

They own a house in the hills
But they want many

Four walk-in closets hold most of their clothes
They stand in their full length mirrors and pose

Diamonds and pearls
Cover their ears, neck, fingers and wrist

Even if they lost some of their things
It wouldn’t be something they’d miss

What shall they do when, they have plenty
But want more?

Build another room
For the things they’ll have to store
