Stuff, Accumulating Things
STUFF
Seemingly unnecessary
Terribly consuming
Ugly and self-absorbing
Fun to buy for whatever reason
Finally forgotten rather quickly
Why is it human beings
Like to purchase so much stuff?
Does it make us feel powerful?
Does it make us feel resourceful?
Certainly such accumulation
Is by no means useful
Neither is it terrible
As I suppose it is self-help
A therapy of sorts
Whereby we congratulate ourselves
Invest or celebrate me for a moment
Move beyond the rat race
To find some peace in a particular place
To develop some pride, save some face
Show ourselves to be owners
Lest we feel and experience some disgrace
You know the feeling
When you compare yourself or your toys
To others be they friends or foes
Such consumption doesn’t help you to grow
On the contrary, in fact it diminishes
You as a person and hinders your progression
As you buy, to yourself you often also lie
Telling yourself how this will make you feel better
By morning however
You usually don’t feel better
And by the end of the month
You′re left with some new bills to pay
If you’re strapped financially
This thwarts your ability to play
As monetarily you must make ends meat
Nevertheless the scurry for stuff continues
As you compete with the Jones’ family
Try to self-actualize and be all you can be
Do all you can do, buy all you can buy
Incurring increasing debts until you die
Living a life of pointlessly accumulating stuff
Is undoubtedly a deception and foul lie
Therefore next time before you buy
Ask yourself truly what you’re seeking and why?
