In the world today, we chase a fleeting dream,
A life of luxury, a never-ending scheme.
With every step, we run and race,
To fill our hearts with a hollow space.
We desire more, we crave the high,
A shiny car, a mansion that touches the sky.
Modern gadgets, flashing lights,
The latest trends, the endless heights.
We lose ourselves in this grand illusion,
Blinded by the glow of a vain conclusion.
We think we need, we think we want,
But in truth, we’re lost in a hollow font.
Our needs, real and true, fade away,
In the chase of things that never stay.
We ignore the bonds that matter most,
In the pursuit of what we think we boast.
A superficial life we live today,
With faces blank, hearts led astray.
Family, friends, relatives near,
But true connections disappear.
We smile, we laugh, but the bond is thin,
Like a paper curtain, covering the din.
We build walls instead of trust,
Filling our lives with shallow lust.
We do not seek to better the earth,
But to prove our worth through selfish mirth.
The goals we chase are ones of pride,
Not for the world, but just to hide.
The nation we could help to build,
Remains unmade, our hearts fulfilled
By personal gain and fleeting grace,
Ignoring the needs of the human race.
We march, we run, in endless chase,
But we are alone in this empty space.
For when desires are all we seek,
Our souls grow weary, our hearts grow weak.
The more we gain, the less we find,
A sense of peace, a peaceful mind.
In chasing things that fade with time,
We forget the beauty of life’s rhyme.
The greatest treasures are not to buy,
But to cherish the moments that pass by.
The true wealth is not in gold,
But in kindness, in love, and in hearts so bold.
Yet, in our pursuit of grandeur’s prize,
We lose ourselves, with blinded eyes.
The luxury we seek, the desires we chase,
Lead us away from our true place.
A life of luxury, so grand, so bright,
But it fades away in the dead of night.
For when the gadgets fall and the lights dim,
We realize the pursuit was nothing but a whim.
We are not meant to live for desire,
But to find what fills the heart with fire.
The real needs are simple and true,
To love, to connect, to renew.
A life of luxury, devoid of soul,
Leaves us empty, never whole.
For the chase of desires, the false and fleeting,
Can never replace the joy of true meeting.
Let us seek not luxury’s shallow grace,
But the deep connections that time cannot erase.
For in the end, it is love, not things,
That gives us life’s eternal wings.
