Wanting what
we don't have
what we do have
isn't enough
or so we think
if what we had
was taken away
and we were left
with nothing
what would we
be doing
waisting our time
sulking in a corner
or would we
be thankful for what
we had
some of us would
be sad
some of us
furious
others not sure
we think
the littlest things
don't matter
but in the end
their all we have.

This came to me one day when I was thinking about the people who had it all and then they fell hard and it was all taken away from them.

Really love the style and arrangement of this! And you make a good point - people should be content with what they have. Kudos!!!! :D

You are completely right, we should be happy with what we have. Even with ourselves and our surroundings. Great poem please keep writing Veggiegirl.
