The Triplets of Lust


Why do you desire others place, assets and relationships?
Do you not know that the best place for you to be is your ship?
His is good, you cry; yours is great you deny:
All you have is all you need to get all that you need to be whole.

To acquire what he desires, Lust made ways to make man lost;
Envy, Jealousy and Covetousness, these are the triplets of Lust,
They are ways that seems right unto men but they end in destruction;
When God says: “You have all things”; Lust says, “Nothing is sufficient: Get into the competition!”

All that Jealousy desires is to stripe others off the warmth of relationship,
Envy, doesn’t care about sustenance but attainment of lofty heights,
Covetousness delights in compounding asset that don’t endure neither can you enjoy,
All that others possess, we assess just for access to make them ours.

Applying “Godliness with contentment” destroys them like a bomb:
 Whoever neglects the triplets sees the narrow way that leads not to the tomb;
Like the Naked Adam, those who follow the Lust way can’t present their works,
In regret they write: Whoever loves money never has Enough!

  2. Nice one, a reminder that Godliness and contentment is great gain.

    Our desires aren't us hence it shouldn't dictate who we are.
