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, and the happiness it brings
Because I finally realized
The best “THINGS” in life
Aren’t material “Things”

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
Gotta agree with that. I gave
Gotta agree with that. I gave away nearly all my material posessions before hitting the road to live. Necesseties without any junk. It is quite a freeing feeling. The simple life is definitely for me.
