The Pursuit of Happiness
We’re all busy consuming.
It’s what we’re taught to do.
Buying and throwing away
Is the nation’s glue.
We’re using up the planet.
Making lots of people rich.
Destroying the thing we love.
Ain’t life a bitch?
The pursuit of happiness
Is to be found in ownership.
The more you have the more you are
All that matters is blue chip.
Some have much and some have none.
That’s the way it has to be.
We’re living the life of luxury
In the land of the free.
What good is having everything
If everyone has it too?
If money doesn’t buy us happiness
What are we to do?

It seems to me that we have lost our way. We do not have lives full of meaning, wonder and adventure. We live in a world where the only things that matter are status and fame.
It’s so empty.
