There is a
Give and take
To the world
But not the way
You think
It should be
That we give as much
As we do take
But no my friends
I fear it is not
At all
That way
There is
Too much taking
With so little giving
And yet somehow
We are still wondering
Why society
Always seems
To be falling
When will we
Get it
When will we see
All the taking
All the greed
And all the bitching
About how much
More we need
Has made society
Nothing
But stubborn
And weak
We need to take
A step back
And be grateful for
What it is
That we do have
And realize that
Excess
Doesn't always
Equal happiness
