First Deserve, Then Desire
By Pijush Kanti Deb
Greed lays the countless eggs of endless desires
but scholars and saints are serious in saying
‘’First deserve, then desire’’—
so, all pretend to be deserved shamelessly
and boost the degrees of their desires up.
Smart words. Very good message.
Lovely meditation.
Good one!
