A Meaningful Desire

A MEANINGFUL DESIRE Human nature is never satisfied temporal fulfilments we evaluate and try these things may serve their use inexhaustible riches we so oft’ confuse generous gifts are open-handedly bestowed our appetites are whetted—seldom slowed contentment remains an elusive pleasure stubbornly we pursue all earthly treasure our fun-filled ,self-styled life—insane wearily penetrating absurdities of life—inane negating souls try unearth significance –require eternal cravings provide--solitary meaningful desire
