Analysis of Satisfied? Or not?



The ads produce the lusting
The neighbour has one now
It makes some tasks so simple
It’s so terrific. Wow.
And travel is the ticket
New places spark the heart.
The credit card will do here
And give our trip its start.
The wanting never wrapped up.
But still I have this ache
Suggesting all the grabbing
Is just one cruel mistake.
The Heart requires a Healer
The day expects New Hope
Just like some groom awaiting
And ready to elope.

It is now a good moment to read Psalm 45.
