Going Behind a Carrot

Going Behind  A Carrot

A carrot before us
as money house and car.
We go behind it 
on the lust on all to have
We loose our days and months
and our health and youth by that carrot

Our sense and wisdom go behind the seller
to have  a bit of carrot to have
It is sweet to that second  or minute
but so bitter to peace

We may sell devils to cruels 
that may ruin many lives in this earth
We may live in luxuries and comforts 
we will have to repay for all
Forget  that carrot and forget that devil
Think your soul and other souls as you
There is the way  and there is the gate 
to enjoy a limitless glee  and peace

Keith Bickerstaffe April 10, 2009 at 6:48 AM Another fine piece of philosophical introspection ...the carrot draws us to materialism and greed; selflessness is the proper way. Best wishes, Keith
