Undercover Wants
I want everything.  Though
 so does everyone else.  I want
 a different soul and a new
 designer purse to carry it in.
 I want to understand belief.
 God? Heaven? Miracles?
 My life could all be falling apart, but
 magically be picked up again.
 It’s God’s miracle they say.
 No, it‘s Destiny‘s spectacle.
 And how could you not want
 money?  Never another want.
 Grab and go.  Of all the
 paved paths, gold.
 But when I have, I still want.
 That is always how I lose.
 When I want, I never have.
 Karma’s big greasy lesson.
 Finally, I realize
 wants are nothing more
 then greedy needs
 in a convincing costume.
