Satiating a need
becomes the seed
to explore possibilities
but soon turns into greed

We need x
But we make y
Just because we can
And end up with surplus on hand

Surplus poses an opportunity,
And We manufacture Demand
We use ‘Marketing’ as a tool
And ‘Push’ for Sales through the roof

Caught up in the crossfire
Between Toplines and Bottom-lines
Ignoring the underlining fact
There’s no “Ownership” on Resources

It may never have been a ‘NEED’ for others
But the ‘DEMAND’ is now created
And the ball is rolling
Albeit in a new direction

Now there is a ‘Demand’
With an obvious ‘NEED’ for ‘Supply’
And a ‘NEED’ for a ‘System’
To carry out every ‘Transaction’

Need has conveniently shifted
from being ‘Basic’ and ‘Individual’
To a creator’s ‘MANUFACTUERD’ system
For a society to ‘FOLLOW’

If the Individual goes back to his needs
The system is at risk of a collapse
Not the individual, but
He is a part of that very System – NOW

The situation today reminds me of a myth:
The society has consumed something
That one can neither spit
Nor comfortably gulp
