Fruits irk and gall, <br />As zits on the mind; <br />On roots, if essentials fall, <br />Is it no longer a bind. <br /> <br />Wishes don't damn or sting, <br />Needful deeds if deemed higher; <br />Better than the fruity longing, <br />Rooty work if grasped as the granter of desire.<br /><br />Amal Gopalakrishnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/desire-209/
