Desires

" Desire is the root cause all human suffering" - Gautam Buddha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A thought born out of temptation
fortified by repeated justification .

Unfulfilled desires lead to frustration
Often ends in anger and ruination.

Contentment, an eternal bliss
keeps us away from abyss

Desire born of temptation, speeds the path to ruination. Enjoyed the bite, Rama. Good luck in the contest, gw
