Selfish Desires


Do not fight or argue with each other,
Rather loving like sister and brother;
Because you are breaking a golden rule,
Making you go against God and a fool.

For you are full of selfish desires,
And that are lighting the lustful fires;
Which are struggling in gaining control,
Of your whole body as well as your soul.

Anytime in wanting something you crave,
It takes you one step closer to your grave;
You do anything just to satisfy,
Because without it you would merely die.

Instead you should go ahead try to pray,
And asking the Lord to send it your way;
If it is for selfish reasons inside,
Your prayers not answered and request denied.

God opposes everyone who is proud,
While they enjoy boasting very loud;
But He who is kind to all and humble,
Will never try to complain or grumble.
