Society's Fact

The fact remains,
That I deserve nothing
Except to die

But who wants to deserve nothing, who wants to die
Even though I don't deserve it
I want it, want what I can't have

It is the way our world has worked
We know we don't deserve it
But our lust for things is unquenchable

If I work for humanly things
I deserve them and want them more
But once I have them I won't want them

I know
That I deserve nothing
But I want, I'm ravenous, I'm avid

The fact remains
That in the eye of our society
I deserve anything and everything I want

    In the eyes of our society, most don't care, but they believe they deserve all they want. I enjoyed your poem and the honesty in it. Thank you for your entry and good luck in the contest. Patricia
