Wants Needs and Desire

I have all the necessary,
which I do want,
and my existence desires…
Yet
each day I yank strings
of sugar plums, luscious candy apple lips,
and sparkler-tins of flashing green eyes…
I
tend to my grumbling belly
by words of solace, careful not to covet,
filling it with cornbread and beans
all the while knowing in truth, others
Hunger…

Me too! That ending was great! A good time of year for this post to remind us to be gratful for the abundance, and remember those less fortunate. Thanks!
