Maslow Hierarchy

The body’s needs are few
Maslow got it right
Air, food, and water
Nourishment, reproduction for life

When all needs are quenched
And the stomach is full
Why is the drive still so alive?
Why do we do what we do?

Is that why I crave?
Is that why I’m on fire?
Insatiable are the appetites
Evolutionary desires
