Poetry: Materialism

things bought
and the money spent
are they really heaven sent?

things of this world
they do not last
so why your lot in
do you cast?

can money and things
buy you happiness you think?
can it love for you bring?
or can it bring you to the brink?

i believe still today
that it won't bring happiness your way
nothing in this world will buy
what you really need inside

so follow your mind
and you will find
that if your smart
you'll follow your heart

    Otherwise-no sleep.

    I've worked hard to get it,
    You just

    All perfect packaging,
    In the displays of
    Psychedelia and stark.
    Inaccessible and utterly unique,
    Snobbish hysteria.
