Needs and Wants

Have to get the needs,
life continues without wants.

Getting all the wants,
doesn’t cover all the needs.

Wanting the needs,
not needing wants.

Eating what is wanted,
not needing what is eaten.

Wanting to speak
when listening is needed.

The want to argue
when the need is to reason.

Wanting to strike out
when the need should be to hold.

Wanting all
from everyone
doesn’t alleviate the greed.

But getting things
from just a few
will satisfy the need.

Very Nice

Nice write Ron
Makes you think and re-evlauate ones' Needs and the Wants.
The things I need, I think I want...and the things I want, I think I need??? Confusing? Thanks for sharing
Hugs Nance :)

Hi Nance

Sure does make you think about what we have and if we really need it all or just want more and more ? I appreciate the read and comment
