Are you struggling with affluenza

That disease where you keep chasing the dream,

Of being rich and successful thinking it will give you all you need,

Only to find you feel dissatisfied and somewhat empty,

And like a crack addict your always chasing more

Needing a new fix greater than the last one,

Finding satisfaction far more harder to achieve

That leads you into depression and a  high state of anxiety,

Unable to realise that filling your life with consumer based material things

Doesn’t fill the growing void that is rooted deep within,

If this is you then you need to heal, but at first you need to see the disease,

Affluenza is a deep rooted issue, that can eat you up

That conditions you to believe in a  mindset focused on greed over need,

Until you start to lose your sense of self, love, caring, and sharing,

And you end up a cold driven addict rooted in fear,

Worried that you won’t get your share or may miss out

And you end up living a life of shallow insecurity and doubt,

You need to face up to this and consider change and start to heal

By finding your inner spirit again and finding gratitude and appreciation,

In even the smallest and seemingly most irrelevant thing,

Rediscover your love, your empathy and caring

And trust in the ultimate wealth that comes from sharing.
