3401. THE GIVENS

THE GIVENS
(2012)
Everyone wants to live forever, or at least not die -
though there are probably a few they wish dead.
Everyone wants traffic to flow their way, as and
when needed, and then scoffs at jams when traffic
for others is stopped. Each wants the roadway
running right to their door. Everyone wants a
certain light when darkness comes, and some
darkness as well when it seems way too light.
The limelight when it's quiet, and the quiet when
life gets too much. And all that stuff about money
being evil, the love of, the pursuit of, everyone seems
to have a thirst that's never quenched until they get
it, then they start bawling about how crummy it is.
Park that large car right where the gas station ends.
Leave it to others, and then make amends  -  and
everyone's got a gimmick they're trying to sell,
 even if first they need sell to themselves.
