Excess

In response to Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (aka, FOWC). EXCESS

Life overflows with excesses
for some
and more is wanted

Excess leads to greed
the need to obtain extra
go higher

Augment that which
is already possessed
blinded by what is had

Ignorant of those
who have not
no supplementary

Unaware of humanities
basic deficiencies inability
to attain excessiveness

Creating chasms
broken social strictures
chaos and unrest

Excess breeds exclusivity
feeding the full
leaving the hungry –

hungry

    Rightly said!
    Unwanted desires certainly lead to self destruction
