This poem depicts the needless desires of the Human Heart that cannot come with us when we depart. Written by…E.B. Wilkes. Please read and give your much needed comment! Thank you.
:We want
We need
We claim
We hoard
We keep
We hunger for the best
Are we no better than the wolves
that kill the sheep?
We never want to let go
We buy and buy
We steal and connive
We aim to own
We hold tight to our load
Then we die
without having learned
that all we sought to be ours
will remain here on Earth
right under the stars.
O’ the thoughts we humans think
are often the thoughts we never thought!
Why is it that we humans
cannot understand that nothing on Earth
is really ours?
