Need or Greed?

she needs to be beautiful

he needs to have sex

they need money

we need entertainment 

everyone needs education

 

she needs makeup 

he needs a girlfriend

they need coffee

we need the new iphone

everyone needs music

 

she needs attention

he needs fame

they need to win

we need success

everyone needs more

 

she needs that dress

he needs the new video game

they need to see this

we need to be happy

everyone needs jesus

 

she needs to pass the test

he needs a new car

they need a pay raise

we need gay rights

everyone needs to read this

 

she needs to lose weight

he needs to workout 

they need this diet

we need fashion

everyone needs to indulge 

 

when did need become 

synonymous with greed? 

 

where is the line

between need and want?

how can i name what i need 

when i’ve been taught 

my wants are needs 

and my needs are wants?
