Desire

Our collective thirsts continue

But what if that's not the problem?

Desire is led by hope

That some things can be changed

 

Our condition is a ripple through eternity

That every person felt since Adam

But without our thirst, how can we possibly know

That better things lie beyond our world?

 

The answers don't lie in the things we want

But rather are in the motivation we use to find

Some of us never get to the point of harmony

But it is a flaw that no human can deny.
