Worldly Sin

This life can sell you dreams that are too 
expensive for you to buy
Covered eyes can't see the truth as they're
being blinded by the lies
This wicked world is full of sin affecting
all from great to least
We're full of ourselves yet we're starving while
trapped in the belly of the beast
It feasts on those that are lost in this tangled
sorted maze
You find peace when you're whole within not
just at the end of days
Darkness comes and it will go as it alternates 
with the light
Just know everything needs to be balanced
between the left and our right

This is a great poem Jasen with a profound message. So well written. ‘We’re full of ourselves yet we’re starving while trapped in the belly of the beast’ Great, powerful line. Really enjoyed it. Thank you for sharing. Write on my friend.
