You never need those things

You take the bait
Highlighting the tendency to fall into traps or make regrettable choices.
And try to live
Struggling to survive with limited resources, symbolized by an empty plate.
To eat an empty plate

And then it's all your fault
Realizing the accountability for decisions and the subsequent waiting.
You think and wait
Linking time with contemplation and anticipation for change.
For time to break the chains
Hoping for a future where the chains of limitations are broken by time.
That pull the state
Recognizing the role of time in challenging and breaking societal constraints.
But time was all I had
Stressing that time, though abundant, requires proactive action.

To keep your your pride, the rich
Encouraging resistance against the influence of the wealthy.
