- More and More -

The dream of getting rich
                                             Win the big lottery
                                             It can be compared
                                           with drinking seawater
                                            If you drink seawater 
                                      it doesn`t take away the thirst
                                       You just want more and more
                                            If you dream of being
                                           beautiful, wise, famous
                                                and very popular 
                                                 ......you will just want MORE and MORE

It is the I wants in their vast variety in this world that creates new products. Without which the economy and life as we know it would not exist but the more we want the more we get, the more we get the more we want. It's a vicious circle. Great write lady Huggs TLee

That is right? Human nature; always ask for more even if he has everything. He won't stop to find other things he does not have. Very indicative, right to the point. I like the poem.
