Human Lust

A wide river gobbles

Everything in its path

Like the greed of humans,

It never stops wanting

The river recedes from the shores,

To reveal only lost of what once was

The want of humans stops at nothing,

Like a mighty river that knows no end

Whether it be gold, money, or love

Or the sweet songs of harmonious music

The ugly truth to humanity is lust

Of shiny jewelry or bright red sports cars

Or the silky smooth sweetness of Dove chocolates

The girls want the sweet smelling flowers

And the boys will want a hangout full of cigarette smoke

Soft silky hair that flows below the waist,

And a rough, scratchy beard so they can be "ghetto"

This river of so-called need is endless;

It will never stop flowing down the wrong path

And towards the ocean of emptiness of the lonely soul

For once the humans get their desire,

They are forever alone in their own greed
