Pigs

Pigs just can't help but be pigs.
Why call us pigs? they say.
We just want what we want and want.

But does it have to be called a want? 
Can't we have needs like pigs 
surely must? It must be the same. Please say

it is. We want you to say
it is Did we say "want?"
We mean "need."  Yes, even pigs,

even pigs have need to say that we want what we want and want and want.
