Desirous

We are made 
to be free 
Together 
Who does not desire peace? 
Who does not desire happiness? 
Who does not desire life?
So obvious and yet so complicated

Love is ageless
It is always incipient 
Who does not desire love? 
Who does not desire warmth? 
Who does not desire the desire for you? 
So obvious and yet so complicated

We are made 
to be afraid 
Together 
Who desires the forbidden? 
Who desires pain? 
Who desires survival? 
So complicated and yet so easy
