RANDOM JACK POETRY HOUR: LIFE SONGS
Social Need
Humans have most basic needs
Beyond physical necessities
Beyond water and the air we breathe
Some pay homage to honor
Some answer to greed
Art can give us pleasure
Books can plant a seed
Money can buy a continent
A hero we can breed
But all the money in all the banks
Like all the fishes in the seven seas
Cannot bring joy to the human heart
Cannot fulfill the social need
Zuckerberg gave us social media
Bezos gave us a material dream
Jobs open doors of perception
Gates made it cheap
But all the wonders of technology
No matter how spectacular
No matter how it seems
Cannot make a human whole
Or fulfill our social need
