Flesh
*Flesh* by Blossom Monyei
Is it our fault as human beings?
We were given flesh.
Obeying its commands.
We drown in the consequences of our sins.
Even as we strive to pay no heed to our flesh.
We're pulled for it to be satisfied,
Pressured by our peers to enjoy.
We compromise and satisfy our hungry flesh.
Flesh of bottles,
Flesh of greediness,
Flesh of lust,
Flesh of worldliness.
Trials and temptations we can't skip,
It's like walking through a hallway filled with devilish hypnosis,
Pulling, pulling to satisfy our hungry flesh,
How'd we walk without being hypnotized?
Take away this flesh,
It weakens our faith,
We aren't strong enough.
So everytime we fall.
