Deepest Desire

'What is it, your heart's deepest desire? Beauty, intelligence, kindness, or power? Is it power you wish for, or is it fame? People to bow at your feet and cower at your name A strong vigor, the ability to conquer all Everlasting ruler, a sovereignty that will never fall Do you long for intelligence, sharp wit and mind? Luminous comprehension that hardly one can find Gain without pain, all done in careful planning Manipulating others with a deceitful cunning Do you crave beauty- a figure of charm and grace? Enthralling everyone with a mere look at your face An exquisite elegance, worthy of fascination Ruling over those who bids service through their adoration Or perhaps you favor kindness, though rare that may be Touching people's heart, your soul they may see A selfless indulgence, a sacrifice for another Tender goodness that shall be remembered forever What is it, your heart's deepest desire? Beauty, intelligence, kindness, or power?'
