On Greed

All I hear from myself
is
"I want
I want
I want"

What do I want?
There are a thousand answers
and more

When will I be
satisfied
with what I have?

Look amongst the things
that are there,
material or not,
and say "I have enough.
I don't want anymore."

But human nature
is greed and lust
so of course
I want
more
and
more
and
more

And I ask myself
"What do I need?"

Silence is always the answer

This is also written now and new. Still quite rough. I consider all of my work rough, though, so this might be a bad thing.
