All I Need


All I need is all I want,

And all I want is all I need.

But what I need is one closest to my heart

away from treachery and greed.

Those who need do not want,

And those who want do not need.

Those who choose flaunt and taunt,

shall never understand what they need,

And to those who know they need not to want,

Shall always receive what they need,

Peace.
