Desire is weakness.

Desire is what makes us weak.
So save us, one and all.
Block out envy,
Like the night blocks out day.
Not for too long.
And we’re flooded,
By that weakness again.

Save this day.
Save every day.
Save every moment and memory,
In a mason jar.
Air tight and clean,
In the deepest recess of your mind.
And we’ll pick away at the contents,
Until nothing is left,
And those thoughts leave us.

And one by one,
Sheep leading sheep,
Blind leading blind.
God knows what we’ll find.
Probably something else we want,
But can never have.
