Poem

Beauty
By Michael M.

Beauty sparks lust,
Lust sparks greed,
The want for what one has not.

Greed sparks Hate,
Hate sparks sin,
Sin of the greed over beauty you have not.

Sin sparks war,
In all the lands.
No one feels safe at all.

War sparks death,
The tragic gift of life.
Once given you are free.
Free of war and sin and lust and greed,
The beauty is lost within.

But death sparks loss,
and loss sparks want,
and want sparks need,
and need sparks love,
Love of the one who's death was near.

So love is the gift of death,
is the gift of life, you see?

But tragedy strikes,
for love sparks beauty within.
