Want
want power, I give
want pleasure, I give
want whole world, I give
want fame, I give
but know it well
want is insatiable
as big as space it is
you cannot swallow all
but it can swallow you
even your legs can go
fast through large throats
but never can you come out
from the exit point
as there it is narrow
frail and dark
