Who cares about "wants" anyway?
Fulfill all "needs" to be okay?
Assured to last another day,
colorful "wants" keep all "needs" gray.

Should we be "grateful" and not "wish"?
Anchored in stagnancy if switched?
To be content with being nourished,
without a need to gain or flourish.

Will my thirst be quenched in this cycle?
Erasing "goals" while walking "idle"?
Both "wants" and "need" hold a recital,
secretly fighting for the tittle.

Can we transform "wants" into "needs"?
Will "wishes" sprout like planted seeds?
Success proceeds and takes the lead,
while "gratitude" helps hopes exceed.
