Better Get It

I don't get it...

These four little words
of painful deprivation

be they

wanting of knowledge

a sexual draught

or a spiritual void

NOT getting 
what we desperately need

is a source of frustration
spread across
the human condition

if our core desires
can not be fulfilled

The lack of stimulation

leads to troubling situations

as we fall into 
the waiting arms of vice
to ease our pain
and make us feel complete

even if just for a little while

though deep down we know

this lame temporary fix

will eventually destroy us
