Pursuit of pleasure-n-power
Is indeed a false trail
For materially tho’we succeed
Spiritually we horribly fail.
Pursuit of pleasure-n-power
On levels subtle and gross

Denies us real freedom
Makes us our desire’s thrall
Pursuit of pleasure-n-power
Alienates us from fellow beings
Fills our lives with sorrow
subtly leading us to wrong doings
Pursuit of pleasure-n-power
Denies the search for truth
Gives rise to cut-throat competition
Denying compassion forsooth.
Pursuit of pleasure-n-power
Destroys the very quality of love
And the benevolent nature.
Can it please God above?
