Continually seeking

Looking back do you feel regret?
Looking forward do you feel aspiration?
Looking inward do you feel innocence?
Looking outward do you feel decay?

Look at possessions, feel significance!
Look at yourself, feel loathing!
Look at women, feel fiendish!
Look at men, feel carnage!

No matter where you look,
No matter what you feel,
No matter what you reflect,
Heed my words of desolation.
