Overconsumption
We go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
It’s easy to live in comfort and abundance
But maybe you drown,
Don’t live
And you just exist
Strip away luxury…
Could you be with just yourself,
And basic needs?
With only your thoughts for company?
Because we go through life trying to fulfill
By feeling full
We consume with our mouths
Pack, squeeze, cram...

Wishing well, living full
The hopes and desires of the wishing well
Bring forth from my longing eyes a watery droplet
That hangs for a moment and then slides gently down my cheek
Onto my lip awaiting the taste of the salty stream of my expectations
The flavour recalling a beautiful seaside scene, youth in its element
And a family outing to be cherished forever
A hopefulness knowing no imagined boundaries
