“The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it”
~ Machiavellian counsel by Oscar Wilde
______________________
Struggling with temptation,
creates a dilemma
requiring our free will,
to discern and so choose,
nectar or ego swill.
Struggling with temptation,
in truth’s a no brainer,
either which ways we win,
if free from addiction,
renouncing ways of sin.
Struggling with temptation,
keeping our heart carefree,
go not with base instinct
but pause a while to think:
is our intent love inked?
Struggling with temptation,
reflect this oh hermit;
why did the urge arise,
although we now do know,
that soul lives, body dies?
