Stuff Poem by Glen Kappy

Stuff

Rating: 5.0


The poor among the poor can be happy
if they all have enough
but the wealthy can be stung by envy
if Jonesy has more stuff.

Yes, happiness is a state of mind.If we go on comparing and become envious of some-one who is better off than us, we can never be happy.

Glen, thank you! I have just posted a poem called " Keeping Up" , which was inspired by this poem of yours! I gave you credit in the poet's notes for the inspiration. Thanks again and have a great day!
