Almost Gone

Almost Gone

Between the pride of life
and plain old common sense
an evil lies in wait
to tear down our defense.
-
And then in helpless state
will leave the lustful eye
to finish off what's left
of what is you and I.
-
Almost gone completly
the flesh will then succeed
in isolating us
from what we really need.
-
Who can seperate us
from all these ills and strife
except the one who gives
new meaning to our life.
