What is this thing?
People crave it,Spend minutes, hours, weeks, months and years Accumulating, counting, valuing And exchanging it.
Is there enough?
Enough to eat,To ensure clothing, shelter, taxes, status and sex Our basic needs and our hearts desires must be fulfilled
What if we run out?
We will be hungry,Homeless, helpless, imprisoned, used and devalued Ending life without the dignity afforded those who "have".
We think of it as an asset
Beneficial to life, health, homeHappiness
But yet it is a debt which we "borrowed" with the life spent in its pursuit.
A debt owed in our current life to our past, that can never be paid in our future.
