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?'
