Quatrain of Devil's Snare

Devil's Snare - selfishness

The human is born a selfish
creature, enough to believe
his own life is the only
one that has real
meaning,

It takes a deep understanding
of the heart to know when
to give up self-worship
through temporal
weaning,

We each take our lives with
special consternation, it is
how nature has woven the
spiritual thread within
us,

But there are times when selfish
reason is the Devil's snare,
we must reach out to God
so our souls are not
superfluous.
