manipulate, masturbate, <br />you need another hand. <br />man wants another woman, <br />woman needs a better man. <br /> <br />never happy, not content, <br />you steal your neighbor's wife. <br />trade your morals for desire, <br />at the cost of another's life. <br /> <br />and the sound of the heart <br />shakes the ground. <br />hunger burns, the sea churns, <br />and babies drown. <br /> <br />you pray to God, <br />but your prayers fall amid the furor. <br />in the temple of the self <br />bowing down to the mirror!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/temple-of-the-self-4/
