Need



Need

That atrocious word allied with greed
No value or love but a naked self-centered creed
Anger rises, for need’s the slave
Turning over without reward, to be a lathe

Down into the valueless vipers pit it brings worthiness
Casts all into the abyss of soulless nothingness
Collapses even hope into nihilistic wretchedness
Death of emotion finally destroys humanness

To rise from that granite floor, smoothed by fallen faces
That is the strength of the flame need wants to smother
Ironic discovery from there, of truth’s ability to uncover
Mind is always there regardless of despair, to recover

Lunge for the choice Mankind always has
Easy when the mind is free from emotions now ashes
Few rise, but then realize the loneliness of needless
But worse is the charity of sacrifices
