Satisfaction

People are never satisfied

with what they've got,

 they buy lots of food

 then let it rot.

 

 Kids want to go outside,

 but when out want back in.

 Girls always think they're fat

 no matter how thin.

 

 Somebody will always have

 something better than yours,

 it’s an endless disease for

 which there is no cure.

 

 You want to get married,

 but then you part ways,

 never willing to work things out

 or set arguments straight.

 

 You complain about your families,

 but at least you've got one.

 Some people have no one to love them.

 

 Try living in a country,

 for which you have nothing,

 then you'd learn to appreciate what you've got,

 at least it's something.

I've just always been taught to love what you've got, cause your going to miss it once it's gone!

Beautiful and so true! Living in Africa, many children here have no families and every day you about people that don't appreciate the ones they've got. It's sad actually. Love your poem! Keep up the great work!

I completely agree 100% people are stupid and take everything for granted

i'm really glad i ran across this. these are my same exact thoughts on the subject. our society is greedy and selfish. the only thing we care about it ourselves, its all a bunch of crap. i'm glad i can find writers out there who share the same opinion as i do. thanks

Holy. Perfect just the way it is. It's so true that in our society people just keep wanting more and more and they always want what they can't have. Time that people put their foot down and start to realize this. Well written and well said.
