Recidivist
As a dumb dog
Returning t his vomit
Again I swallow
Once more I wallow
Like a sow
That was washed
Returning to her mire
O wretched man that I am!
Struggling to understand
Why I do what I allow not
For the good that I would
I do not do
And that which I do
I don't want to
As a fallen leaf
At the will of strong winds
I have no addictions
The habits have me
In chains that command me
I consent them good
