Our ugly side, anger and greed Game of one-upmanship Endless craving beyond our need Gods love not our flagship At all costs need to win Deafened by ego din Delusion begets sin Ego lust ride Our ugly side 22-August-2021 Quietus

Reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel's line about the neon signs in 'Sounds of Silence.' ~ Signs of the Times

Ego some can deal with seeker, lust is more difficult to control, you may argue they are the both compulsions, but I think hormones along with temptation drives lust of the skin, making it seem irresistible, human nature then goes to work, is this weakness or design, I’m really not sure, your poems can be quite evocative, cheers David
