Covetousness

Here they come again,
Those feelings of inadequacy,
Felt by, I'm sure, everyone in the world,
Unless they have lots of money.

Oh yes, it can buy happiness, I'm not joking,
The human condition is not such,
That even when you can get anything you want,
You still have to think that life sucks.

The need to create angst when there is no reason,
Granted, is a privilege reserved for us,
The poor are given it, the rich choose to take it,
And so the divide between the haves and have-nots.

And it's alright,
If I end up with lots of money,
I'm sure I'll bring chaos down upon myself.
My way of maintaining equality.
