What Do We Really Want Nowadays?

whatwewant

What do we want nowadays?
We want to ‘feel good’ without doing good things
or being good,
We want pleasure with no purpose,
relationships with no responsibility,
love without pain,
beauty without meaning,
journeys without destinations,
and life with no awareness of death
or what goes beyond that.
We want many things,
but we don’t know what we really need,
so in the end, we may say we’ve laughed,
but we have never really known joy.
We have been entertained,
but we have never known peace.
We have seized every delight
that this world could possibly give,
but have walked away empty,
and lost our very souls.
