They say: eschew material possessions,
it's better to make memories instead.
Let go of your compulsions and obsessions.
All worthless, in the end, you're just as dead.
Providers of these sage recommendations,
grown wealthy on the strength of their success,
pontificate at length: avoid temptations,
a simple life will modulate your stress.
To tell the truth, consider me a skeptic.
Advice to be content with what you've got,
conveniently bland and antiseptic,
it strikes me though, there's something they forgot:
The bestest kinds of memories you want
are those when others fawn on what you flaunt.
