What Do You Want ? (Poem)
As a child, knowing nobody
But the one that feed’s me
And the people I see around me
There is a need
My mouth have not been trained to speak
My body to communicate
And I Cry!
But instead of answer, I hear-
What do you want?
Growing up, differentiating people
Knowing my true family
Having friends and loved ones
There is a need
I speak with all in my heart
And display all the signs I know
I trouble and disturb everyone
But instead of answer, I hear-
What do you want?
As a grown man, having been schooled
Having insight to the world
Knowledgeable in a skill or career
There is a need
Exploring the possibilities at my disposal
Maximizing my potentials
But instead of answer, I hear-
What do you want?
As a religious man, having been tutored
Knowing much about the God figure
Knowledgeable in his book
There is a need
Performing all the sacramental ordinances
Fulfilling all righteousness
But Instead of answer, I hear
What do you want?
Now I understand, needs must be met
Desires are meant to be fulfilled
Not all needs will be at our call
There must always be a need
But with wants which are broad
Unspoken needs can be fulfilled
While the pressing needs remain for a while
So, what do you want?
