Self Enlightenment



Come, let me unveil the world,    
What purpose do our bodies hold?    

What is the essence of our existence,    
In the debate of nature versus nurture?    
   
Come, O sacred yet profane entity with cravings,    
Come, O benevolent yet primal carnivore,    

Consume desires, transform into a beast,    
Until the self dissolves, and you are no more

Author's Note
The profound exploration of identity, juxtaposing the external world and internal struggles. The verses beckon the reader to ponder the purpose of the human form, to question the very essence of existence, and to navigate the perennial debate of nature versus nurture.
