I am having a pity party today
For first world problems are blocking my way
These self-created problems prevent
My time from being gainfully spent..
**
I have been guilty, I do confess
Of acquiring new things, trying to possess
The biggest, the best, and definitely more
Of everything I can, even if I have to store
Extra stuff that does not the light of day see
Locked away, collects dust and cobwebs in plenty
**
One day, unfortunately, you realize
Neglecting all belongings has been unwise
New problems you suddenly find with things old
As you sort through unused objects, miseries unfold
Now time and money are funneled needlessly
In something that was unneeded, obviously…
**
Today I am trying to dodge this self-made noose
Blind consumerism has led to me to lose
Precious time, money and peace of mind-
To keep us trapped, possessions are designed
This is a lesson learnt the hard way
I hope I shall keep new acquisitions at bay!
Passion...unbridled
