just one of many deadly sins

lust.

an intense desire for an object.

a person.

power

or food, perhaps.

money.

it's not

just sex.

we lust for many things.

for 

people we want

in our life.

for what tomorrow might

bring.

we lust

for affection,

for understanding.

it's an unquenchable

thirst,

a desire.

a void that insists

on being filled.

we are full of lust

at times.

casting aside envy,

greed

and anger, jealousy

and sloth. oh, what

a world.

what a world.
