desires of flesh

The beauty you seek
lies with the flesh
rotten and old
it shall become

Pursue that which sings
cares not for looks
you'll live a better life
than what you seek to attain

For faces and bodies
last but a minute
soon you shall see
the error in your ways

And when the day comes
you'll cry to the sky
remember it was you
who paid the price of beauty
