My Confession
I am led by desire
I desire this
I desire that
I desire everything
that all my friends’
have and desire
because
someone else has and desires it
God
I know I have no use
for most of it
but I must have it
I desire life
but not death
for the fear of it
I desire life because
most my friends have it and want it
and fear death because
most of my friends fear it
God
when I am dead
maybe I will desire nothing
because all my dead friends
will most likely desire nothing
and hopefully
we will most likely have no use
for any of it
then God
what will become of it?
