Come with me to one of
the most populated
prisons in the world.
It has more inmates that
bunks.
More prisoners than
space.
It has more residents than
resources.
The bunks are hard.
The walls are bare and
the food is cold.
And there is never
enough.
People try to get out of
this prison but they get
stuck.
What is the name of this
prison?
This is the prison that is
named W A N T
It is the prison of want.
How do people try to get
out of this prison?
Well they make an
appeal. What is their
appeal? It is MORE -they
want more.
Usually you don't want
much-right you just want
one more.
The fun fades
The fizzle sizzles
The dazzle dims
In this prison of want you
are stuck because all you
want is just more, more,
more.
