Things we want to hear

We interact
We give
We take
That’s the deal

Raised up in a capitalist world
We like taking
More than giving

We tell a story
A happening
Something that made us
Laugh, cry or think
And while we are giving this
We aren’t open handed
Sitting there destitute

We are predators
We want something
And we are not leaving without it
That is the Reply
A custom reply that will support us
That will make us feel good
No questions to examine
Our morals or ethics

Even in the most desperate stories
We know the menu of replies by heart
We just want that specific answer
That will make us say
I knew it!
Thank you!

And know that I have received
What I wanted to hear
Would you like to
Share a story of your own?
