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
