Mastering Desires

Dark skies - gather A warm breeze rolls in Disruption; atmospheric pressure Desires; humanity’s troubled sins Perceptions illicit emotions Thoughts; heat - rising in the mind Ancient - safety mechanism Born; important for the time Survival was imperative Consumption; modern times all in vain The conscious creature’s dilemma Awareness; somethings driving us insane Blind drives… Natures blessing - society’s pain The instinctual beast Twisted; we’re one in the same What God joined together Man can’t tear apart A primitive brain Consciousness; the human heart part Mastering desires Discerning the thoughts Cravings diminish Tranquility’s what sought The drives are within us Acceptance; a warm breeze of glory and pain Adaptation via atmospheric pressure Unsettled; man still remains
