Things

Are the “Things” that we have The “things” we really need? Are the “Things” that we want, Out of necessity or greed? “Things” are all the items We are told that we must get, Putting the naive misguided people Deeper and deeper into debt Told to us by big corporations With their lying alluring ads By a greedy society’s self-indulgence Falling for the falseness And ridicules new fads THINGS,THINGS…. THINGS And more “things” New houses, stylish clothes Nice cars and diamond rings. How many “Things” Does a person have to obtain Before they finally realize They are just greedy selfish and vain That is why I keep my “Things” Few and far between Because the ugliness of always wanting To me is clearly seen My humble life is packed With everything that I really need And I am free of all the want Vanity and greed My heart and soul are full With Love, hope and kindness And the happiness it brings Because I finally realized The best things in life Aren’t material “things”
