Excess Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Excess to market its ease to get.
Bombards those with minds addicted,
To have more not less...
Of what the media addresses,
Behind the waste and uselessness...
Of having excess overplayed can stress.
A way of life and the quality of it,
Leaves many to feel depressed.
Trying to keep up to afford a mess.
To find themselves indebted.
Living lives on credit that provides,
An opportunity to deepen their debts.
And regrets to keep them excessed.
