who has the best?
who has the biggest?
who has the most expensive?
...who really cares?
is there any real way to 
place a price tag on
what really matters.
perhaps only those who have not
can truly appreciate this.
i don't know.
i overhear so much
yuppie diatribe...
where is the passion?
where is the intellect?
where is the spirit?
the boredom is burdening
i, too can appreciate the beauty
of a lexus, but its conversational value
is limited.
a sunset or a single autumn leaf
touch my heart and my soul
ever so much more.
the sunset reminding me that 
each day must come to an end
but filling me with anticipation for
what the next will bring.
the leaf, a sign that all life
changes...goes through cycles
of renewal...
status alone cannot measure happiness
peace, love and being in touch 
with your heart and soul,
these are the true routes to happiness
and they can belong to all of us,
for they do not know class or race
and cannot be measured in dollars
