Human Verses Spiritual Desires

All the while, worldly pleasures are before mine eyes;
My spirit says, with a tear welling in his eye and blood stained
Hands reminding me of his sacrifice, this world is not your home.
Your treasure and pleasure is eternal. The eyes deceive and 
believe the human desire must be now...NOW! My chest aches
and knows that the spirit is guiding, but the human desires
wins another battle. My spirit weeps for all the lost battles.
The Spirit will be victorious over this world in a season...
Eternally victorious!
