A poem classifing people and how they want what they can't have.
Why do we want what we cannot have?
The living want death
The dead want life-
Why do we search for what is lost?
Why do we look for what cannot be found?
We hunt, we eat, we sleep and die
Why not look through your own eyes?
You look for the life you want-
Once you have it-
You deny it
Why do you want what you cannot have?
Life shall past
We will die
The end will come
But once again
The stars that shine, will burn and die
Why do you want what you cannot have?
The kiss of death will come to thy
Live long, love life
Why do you want…
Wanting is why.
