Some people won’t wear the same outfit next time Some forage for clothes in one lifetime

Some are too full to finish their meal Some forage for food, when they steal

Some buy a new house that is one of a kind Some forage for shelter under any roof they find

Some are lost in luxury, they are needed to revive Some forage for one chance to feel alive

Some avoid and some kill relations to win the race Some forage for affinity even in a stranger’s face
