Between what we want and what we need
The contrast has never been clearer indeed
The pandemic and its aftermath have unveiled
How we have been overtaken by greed, how we have failed
To remember that human needs are but few
Most “needs” are just wants crying “me too”..

I for one, had never thought I would find
My ambition and possessions misaligned
Now I see my ambition and efforts were (mis)directed
At acquiring more objects- a practice I have now rejected
In favor of assets rather intangible
I focus on growth in spheres philosophical
My mind’s horizons I want to expand
More of the universe I want to understand
My soul should take deeper dives to explore
The abstract universe, there is so much more
To acquire except objects materialistic
I aim to achieve Nirvana as a mystic…
