What would the theme of this poem be?

"Luxury" by Nikki Giovanni

i suppose living

in a materialistic society

luxury

to some would be having

more than what you need

living in an electronic age seeing

the whole world by pushing a button

the nth degree might perhaps be

adequately represented by having

someone there to push

the buttons for you

i have thought if only

i could be rich and famous i would

live luxuriously in new york knowing

famous people eating

in expensive resturants calling

long distance anytime i want

but you held me one evening and now i know

the ultimate luxury

of your love.
