lives fragmentary, broken
chasing greed, thriving for more
possessions irrelevant
competing to possess more.. more
naive to perceive, foolish to register
the merriment to be relished
hidden in tiny little things
goals as soon as achieved, newer set
no hours assigned to celebrate achievements
lives fragmentary becoming now hollow
beauty lost in the game of greed
leading lives to nothingness
making them empty
lives lifeless ultimately
LOve the pic a lot and the words are just amazing

I agree with this idea. In one poem they call this idea the “beggars bowl,” where every time someone throws money into the bowl the money disappears. the bowl is supposed to represent human desire and human desire can never truly be filled up because as humans, we naturally always want more and more. if we make one million, all we will think about is what it’s like to make 10 million and then 100 million. we never become satisfied. if however you have a goal to do something with the money you’re striving for like retire your parents or give to charity or do something fun and nice for friends and family then the beggars bowl can be filled. money alone and greed won’t however. another nice poem
