Mental Fetter
You want two coppers,
and many golds,
and many more diamonds,
what for?
will you eat them,
you may wear them,
but for how long,
and to what avail,
you might sell them,
get money,
what would you do with money,
you can eat only as much as you want to,
you can live only in space required by your cubic feet,
you can wear better,live better,
but how do you define better,
is it really better,
or just a mental fetter.
