~THE INSATIABLE!~

I've enough for my exegencies
Never enough have l for my cupidities
I keep extorting from them that have a little
And leaving them in an abject poverty

The eyes have seen enough
Yet never satisfied of seeing
Whatever that happens or passes
The eyes keep looking and looking

Hey, you, the mouth!
Aren't you tired of talking?
You've talked a lot and still...
You should be mute now but you won't

What about you the ears?
Having you amass enough?
Let go all the jingles around;
But there always ready for the gossips

When will I be satisfied and say,
'I'm okay, I don't need anymore'
But when I'm almost saying so,
That's when the greed in me will rise

Ahem, see, I'm the lack
That lacks nothing but
I'm a slave to greed and
Keep serving my master to death

When will satisfaction be said of me?
When will greed let go of my grip?
When will I be free from the lust?
When will I be okay in this flesh?

That can only be when:
The spirit has let go of the mortal;
And it lies there in the mother Earth
Then will there be satiety
