Give Me Five...

A brand new year has come along,
Bringing with it the same old song.
A song of desperate hope and need,
To fill the lives that people lead.

Everyone wants better and want more,
Buying their desires from the shopping mall.
But I wonder why bother at all,
When all they need is a phone call.

A call to their loved ones to show they care,
For without them they would be nowhere.
People will mourn for you when you die,
But items will not even utter good-bye.

We buy items to improve our lives,
But people are why we stay alive.
Always remember this and you shall thrive,
And live strong and happy to give me five.
