Rich Man

The rich get richer,
The poor get poorer,
Gimme, gimme, gimme,
More, more, more.

What we crave,
Is never enough,
Break the backs of the people,
To get more stuff, stuff, stuff.

Yup, that sums it up, Timothy. The less we think we need, the better off we are.

People are selfish (me - me -me) and the more we get, the more we want! Very insightful piece into human nature! Love it! Kindest regards. Pandita
