this body asks me <br />for so many things <br />but god asks nothing of me, <br />just to be good to myself <br />and to return to him <br />in one whole piece <br />desires are stench of corpses <br />tranquility the sanctum of <br />His Holiness and beautiful teachings <br />i prefer to be with god <br />than this ever covetous body <br />that tears the spirit of the body <br />leaving nothing to appease itself<br /><br />john tiong chunghoo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/covetous/
