Want: The Taste of Humanity


We want the people we love to flourish, we want them to thrive, we want them to succeed.
We want the world to be good and we want never to be hurt.
We want to live life happily and comfortably and freely.
We want to see our destinies, we want to deny our pains, and so we hide our sorrows.
We want, we want, we want...
Our wants are so beautiful and romantic and selfish and selfless.
We want to all be the same inside.
We want us all to be ravishingly and effervescently youthful.
We want to be different and unique and unparalleled.
We want the sun to shine for us, we want the rain to pour it's blessings down.
We want oh that we want.
And when we want wanton things we want to be righteously forgiven so that our hearts are satisfied.
We want not to want the things so unwanted.
We want to sustain and not only that but excel and outshine and outperform and win.
Want more, want better, want more, want better.
What we wanted before is now obsolete.
We want new, we want greater, we want the advantage, we want an edge.
We want to be wanted.
We want because what's life if we can't want?
And when we're gorged full of these wants like a tick filled with blood but somehow can't stop the urge to suck,
We'll want just a little bit more.
