remember when.
Remember
when you were 2 years old
all you wanted
was cuddles and a warm bottle of milk
Remember
when you were 5 years old
all you wanted
was that little piece of toy
It was sitting on the shelf
s h i n i n g bright in your eyes
like it had been waiting forever
and you thought it said
come pick me up
Remember
when you were 10 years old
all you wanted
was a pencil box
a very u n i q u e one
and you planned
to put in all your t r e a s u r e s
and you planned
to put in all your t r e a s u r e s
As we grow
we want m o r e
we want even more
when we o w n more
We own so much more
than we ever n e e d
and still
never s a t i s f i e d
Technology improves
and human nature d e g r a d e d
Few of us
still enjoy writing letters to friends
s a v o u r the moment
before opening an envelope of s u r p r i s e s
Few of us
still stop on busy streets
look up to the sky
and admire the beauty of n a t u r e
We produce
We consume
and then a b a n d o n
Never s a t i s f i e d .
