To have has become
an obsession.
I witness distant light
of planets so faraway
and stars that twinkle
more than greedy eyes
and wonder
how much is enough
to fill the cup of desire.
I see and hear about perfection
but those who pursue
that stature at any cost
will never bloom as beautiful
as a rose
come early spring
when real beauty awakens
without pay.
I overheard the other day
we no longer fear
burning in hell
too busy hiding dollars
from the tax man
while laughing at those living
in poverty
and so I say
to have has become an
obsession
that over time will fade
into oblivion
the dreaded grave
that all the money and power
will not set free
nor make beauty worthwhile.
