Basic Necessities

We all have to daily eat and drink and also **** and ****

there isn't anything else more basic or common than this,

except a vital need to rest and get some adequate sleep

as the rigours of life take their toll on the body we keep.

 

Let's not forget the all-important function of breathing to stay alive

which depends so much on various conditions for anyone to thrive

and is the main ingredient for every creature's life on this world;

regardless of anything else it determines how well they're swirled.

 

We also have a need to keep our bodies and clothes clean

as our daily activities produce sweat and odour that is seen

and can be smelt from a distance which isn't very pleasant

making us wonder if a person noticed with is just a peasant.

 

There is also an inherent urge to love and be loved in return

which is what makes life worth living for those who discern,

and the very curious thought as to why we've been born at all

or the reason for our existence on this planet Earth we so call.
