Unending Wants

My tantrums are usual, 

I want something all the time 

From friends to food, movie to malls

From 'Message only', to 'video calls'

But I wonder,

How can my desires be labeled as a 'Crime'?

What's wrong in cribbing all the time ?

See, life is too short, why not crave ?

Else my 'wants' will follow me till grave

I want to live my life king size

I might as well equally behave

With every passing second, 

I want to spend my every dime

Because,I want something all the time

Now, this 'Something' can be anything

Money, word of praise, a relationship, some respect,

Being recognized when you least expect

Or bithching someone, bullying someone

Just getting rid of some life's shitty aspect

This definition of 'something' changing with time

Confused, what to forgo and what is prime

Then one day, I meet this lady,

Vibrant face, deep eyes, 

Wrinkles all over, 

But her radiance competing with skies

At the airport, unknowingly she directs me to a billboard, which says - 

 "Reduce your baggage and enjoy your journey"

Since then, not sure where my destiny lies,

But with life's every step foward 

My 'want' steps back

As I now witness, my time perpetually flies!
