Wants & Needs Poem by Marcel Aouizerate

Perhaps you do have everything
You need already,
And more would actually
Be better in a worse way.
Perhaps you want to stop
Having more as
More means getting less of something
That you cannot afford to lose,
Lest unbearable losses would
Pile inside your soul and drown
Your heart in ink redder.
And if you read this properly
Surely you cannot in earnest, toss
Another coin onto the heap,
Or live through another day of want
While you go through yet
Another day of want.
