A lurking tickle of noble want

[Guest guest]

Ram Tzu knows thisŠ

 

You will never have enough.

There is not enough to be had.

 

Your satisfaction,

However sweet,

Is always temporary.

And when it goes

It leaves behind a void

That screams to be filled.

 

So you go again in search

Of completeness,

Of fullness

Of peace,

Of happiness.

But you know only to look

For satisfaction.

 

A blind man in search of the sky.

 

You clever ones will see

It to be a problem with

A simple solution.

 

AusterityŠ

 

You strip yourself of worldly goods

Run about naked

Living off the labor of the crass souls

Still bound to the yoke of desire.

 

Pity it doesn't work.

It looks so good on paper.

But always in the deep,

Dark recesses of your soul

Lurks a tickle of noble wantŠ

 

To be one with God.

 

It might just as well be a Rolls Royce.

 

Fools, don't despair.

For you there is always hope.
