money is a pill eat drink opiate
addiction of consumer societies
spinning web advertisement lies
addiction purchasing stream constant
new products produces happiness
fame achieved provides perfect lives
yet both money fame are false obcessions
are marketed forms of salesmanship slaveries
chaining victims to excessive purchase debts
happiness may be wisdom obtained
through banishing irritant desires
false money wealth fame addictions
'I do not need money
And I do not need fame'
runs counter measure to almost every message
contemporary society inflicts upon young minds
advertising fills them with desires reality cannot fill
cleanse mind of damning desire impossible excess addictions
'I do not need money
And I do not need fame'
I refuse to play money game
happiness may be obtained
through banishing desires
money wealth fame addictions
runs counter measure
to almost every message
contemporary society
inflicts
upon young minds
advertising
fills
youth aged
generations
with desires
reality cannot fill
happiness
money is not
happiness is
love friends family
blessings adequate
provided sufficiency
adequate is sufficient
freedom from hardships
relax rest repose in serenity
in realization tranquillity
bliss is adequate sufficiency
because happiness
resides in prosperity
adequate sufficiency
