Everything Isn't Enough. Poem by Marcondes Pereira

Everything Isn't Enough.

Rating: 5.0


The more I get, the more I require.
Everything isn't enough, cause my desire
Becomes greater
My needs arrive faster
All that I have doesn't make me feel better.

The more I get, the less I enjoy.
I buy, I buy, I buy... But I don't feel joy.
Materialism is my god and I'm his slave
I pray to him, but he doesn't save
My soul from boredom.
Save my soul from money's kingdom.

You are very right. Desires are unlimited and they never end. The more you get, the more you require. More you get and less you enjoy. So why, we souls pray God to save us from material world and from illusion. Very thoughtful poem is of awareness. Excellent poem this is....10....Congratulation!
