The want for nothing

I want for nothing of this world

 

The grandeur and riches are unappealing.

The delicacy and deliciousness are unappetising.

 

Wealth turns to ashes in your mouth as you fathom,

The complete idiocy of the system that has become unfathomable.

 

I want for nothing of THIS world

 

Nature has turned against us

As we try so hard to control and confine it.

Only to make it exponentially worse

 

The future generations we will never see

The joy and happiness to experience

Taken by those that want for nothing than greed

 

I want nothing of THIS world

 

The want for nothing, strange.

 It is a fallacy, want grows deep and strangles.

What is greed if it is not want?

 

Craving the depravity of it all

Craving the unfairness of it all

Only to crave the release

From

It

All

 

I want nothing of THIS world

 

A world with him

A world with us

Together

 

Is all I want from this world.

 

 

 

 

This is the first poem I have written since 2017, and i though this would be the perfect place to share it

Thanks Luke. Wise words indeed.
My take on the situation would be that "we have turned on nature".
