“To him that hath, more will be given
To him that hath not, even that will be taken away”
~Paraphrased from the Bible
“Having” is a state of mind. Feeling shorted by the universe seems to result in being shorted (or possibly it leads to feeling as if you have been shorted more often).
"What consumes your thoughts controls your life"
Of course this type of people always finds each other
They spin together, a few falling off
Like stars on the edge of a galaxy
Of course this type puts on a suit
And marches dutifully into a building
Day after day
Along with the rest of the colony
As if they communicate with each other
That they should all show up together
And work toward a somehow understood goal
As if they were always meant to do this
How is it that even with these complex minds
We can still be swirling whirlpools
Comprised of pixelated ghosts
Acting in unison, balancing the charges
What I've withheld I've lost
What I've given I've gained forever
