Debbie Middaugh Poet Rhyme

We Want

We want bigger homes
And a smaller family.
   We want mountain tops and
Flowers in the valley.

   We want more convenience,
We have less time.
   We all have our hills and
Mountains to climb.

   We want more degrees, 
But no common sense.
   We want things to change,
Yet, we are on the fence.

   We want more knowledge,
We have less judgement.
   We have more crime, 
A glutton for punishment.

   We want more experts, yet we
Create bigger problems.
   We expect what we plant
To blossom.

   We want more medicine,
But we're less healthy.
   Everyone is getting fat,
But the wealthy.

   We have been to the moon
And back.
   We have lost our way,
On the wrong track.

   We built more computers to
Hold more information.
   To make conversation, we open
More lines of communication.

   We want more quantity,
We get less quality.
   We want equal rights, yet 
Deal with equality.

   We want a variety of fast foods,
We have slow digestion.
   We want the first date 
To pop the question.

   We want to be taller, 
We are short on character.
   We want to meet new people,
Yet there is a barrier.

   We want more profits, yet we
Have shallow relationships.
   We want more friends,
But we have fewer partnerships.

   Our garages are full, 
Our homes are empty.
   We want it to be colder, 
We become more sweaty.
