Desire

Lifting off, the dream was just a dream

which might become reality,

before it does, it has a minimal effect

to do with my life or the way it's lived.

In one's life first comes dreams;

then comes wants and needs.

Want, the most basic form of desire.

Isn't it true that to anyone out there,

with enough desire, a want becomes a need?

Then wouldn't it be that

the line between wants and needs

cannot be drawn clearly by another party?

It is through our desire to live

that humans compete with nature to create

a convenient environment by

lording over the rest of nature

with our brute ways

in order to ensure our interests and survival.

(Survival of the fittest)

When food and water is considered to be

needs of sustaining our lives,

our desire to live brings us to feel

a need to nourish ourselves.

so if even the most basic

survival is driven by desire,

then shouldn't life be all about desires

instead of just fulfilling our needs?

Why so are we taught to

WORK to fuel our needs

and confine ourselves in our own

prison of sick and schedule routines

which do not fully benefit us but

thoroughly benefit others?

For one, when most people work,

they earn money for the company,

for the owners to achieve their desires.

While they slog for loose change,

the higher-ups reap the profits.

The world is fair,

some people just fair better than others.

Now what's your desire,

to simply live because you're alive

or to live for your desires?

decide.
