de-sire
Beware of this potent seed - desire:
Sown in fertile mind, fruit it must bear.
Once fulfilled something else does it transpire
Thwarted, often turns to sorrow, anger.
Seated on the throne that governs the land
It cracks the whip like a dictator pitiless,
Thoughts and actions move as per command,
Judgement blindfolded, will powerless.
It's real nature, not easily discerned at first
Deludes us to believe, there is something to gain.
'Hemlock' we realise later, only increases the thirst
And to a raging fire more fuel does one add in vain.
Howsoever tempting and repeated be its call,
Do as less or if possible nothing with it at all.
