We are constantly driven by the desire to own Often life is shaped by wants It is more like a jungle Everyone feeling the need to be entitled Pushing for what one can't own If you don't fit the bill you get disowned Pushed to the periphery Only able to get the scraps Even silenced if seen to revolt Why have the urge to control If only we could break away From the superficial Reach out to the core We can be dissuaded From mere transient gains To aspire for the golden within

Unwanted Desires
We are constantly driven by the desire to own Often life is shaped by wants It is more like a jungle Everyone feeling the need to be entitled Pushing for what one can't own If you don't fit the bill you get disowned Pushed to the periphery Only able to get the scraps Even silenced if seen to revolt Why have the urge to control If only we could break away From the superficial Reach out to the core We can be dissuaded From mere transient gains To aspire for the golden within
