We buy it. use it for a time
thought in our own mind
to bring us happiness or enhance ourselves
thinking oh how this will help with that
the description says it does this, we infer only facts
owning this -matter- engulfs our head
then its ours...the hunt now dead
the possessing process out of control
the addiction to please now unfolds
for the realization a short time after
I am not any happier
with the --matter-- I have found
a lustful merry go round
a cycle I have lived
knowing now whats what and whos whos
I better think twice before getting those shoes.



Sometimes we get caught up in the chasing of our possessions or matters. Its easy to loose sight of what we think will make us happier and what we know will make us happier.. Shoes is one of the places I see this personally. The fact is I told myself I would run for a month before buying these awesome running shoes, which help the foot and back and la la la the works you know. And thinking about this I see that if I have to make such promises maybe I need to reevaluate the importance of this matter..or thing or in my case shoe..I am ashamed at how materialistic this is for me. but I see it in many parts of our culture
