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”
