Man and His Desires
A man was struggling
to swim out of the ocean,
the ocean of desire;
, he was close to the coast
and there he saw a man
waving at him and asking
at the top of his voice,
' Hey man, you there,
can I help you, help you
to reach the coast safely,
, but then you will have to
promise me you will give up
all desires in life, will you?
o.k the man in distress said,
but then, 'I have a desire' , he replied,
to which the man on the coast answered,
As I said before,'man you will have
to give up all desires, will you?
the man on the coast asked again,
he received no answer, and the
man in distress in the ocean
didn't appear there afterward perhaps,
he preferred to drown in the
abyss of 'Desires' rather than
reaching the doors of Heaven
for the man on the coast was
none other than the 'Lord God' Himself
And the human that he is, the
man in distress failed to see 'HIM'
