Live Within Your Means

Citizenry
Should learn
To differentiate between needs and wants
Much more before they waste their resources
Hard-earned money

Right now
Swift understanding
To differentiate between needs and wants
Someone to live without a want
Only a need

The way Americans tell it these days: They need what they want, even if they don't want what they need. How about that?!
