Joneses

JONESES"
It looks and sounds like a name

It's a whole lot more

It governs the hearts of many

Lord of the lives and purpose of too many

Many time you think you have all you need to have

Until Joneses again calls

Because of her many a good man has been destroyed

A "want it all" consciousness in your subconscious

Keeping up with what's up

It sure sounds onomatopoeically related to a kind of illness

Most definitely of the mind

Metaphorically ;it is sure is

With what you see around defining what you want

Keeping up with the Joneses can be quite unpleasant

Although, initially appealing

So many needs you don't actually need

but that you need to supposedly need to become a need

Seeing it all of it all

Seeing none of it

Wanting it all

Yet you can't grasp it

Yet you gasp for it

almost more than your next breath

Until you can gloat about it

Every atom of desire

Deadlier than an atomic bomb

With ruins as remains

Misdirected desire, Like a good looking pudding with a bad taste

Owning all these, amassing wealth,prestigious social status

Makes life exciting

When it becomes the essence of you existence

Therein lies danger

In the end that's not what matters

When you take a rear-view look

They don't constitute a "matter" in your matter

Lives and loving can get you fulfilment Joneses cannot offer
