A Food Addict
A food fan sees a delicious cake
but not the caterpillar it is
A drunkard sees the nice beer
but not the poison in it
An adulterer sees the woman
but not the ring in her hands
An amorous woman sees the man
but not the consecrated priest
A power hungry ruler sees personal gain
but not loving service to the people
An imperialist sees natural resources
but not human beings living in the nation
A money loving worker sees wealth
but not service to the organization
Lust is like devil on the throne
It bedevils actions and thinking
