Everbody wants something different.

Everbody wants something different.
The irritating five year old wants a damn ice cream cone.
The sixty year old wants the fruit of their youth back.
The teenager wants somebody to understand them, even though it's them not understanding themselves thats the problem.
The mother wants her kids to stop fighting.
The sister wants her dolly back.
The brother wants vengance.
The actor wants fame.
The lonely wife wants attention from anywhere she can get it.
The bussiness man wants to be at the carefree top.
The poor man wants money.
The rich man wants stability.
The drunk wants more booze.
The smoker wants their smoke.
The nympho wants their sex.
The attention whore wants.. well. Need I really explain this one?
Everybody wants something.
Some sort of vice, action, provision or reward.
Some people say they need them. I couldn't really tell you if that was true.
However, this just proves just how teetering on the edge we really are. Because all of these people can find solutions; can in some way or another find a way to live without their wants.
Yet no one ever does.
They all just sit and surrender all intelligence to have their life maintain it's original state.
You know what I want?
No no.
What I need.
I need for everyone to shut up for a second.
Just one second, the world would be silent.
And in this sweet surrender I shall bask, because this one second would be my nirvana.
No complaints.
No gripes.
No problems.
Silence.
And everone's problems would be solved.
Because they'd finally have time to think.
Before they speak or act.

Enjoy the silence. If only for a second. It's my only escape.
