Desire and Love

What maketh a man, so full of desires
Is desires life, or the meaning of it
Is desire the purpose, that set off creation
Is desire the only means, to bring its worthy end

Man made it this far, top of the food chain
Evolved, conquered, controls almost all
Thought, created, made buildings of jungles
Craved, thirsted, achieved all of this

Man had reasons simple, to survive and sustain
His hunger drove him, to kill
His instinct instilled in him, to reproduce
Emotion inspired him, to create
And intellect led him, to invent

What holds this together, yet from all consuming greed
Is it love, that he longs, to hold hands with his wife
Is it love, that he watches, the birds and the flowers
Is it love, that he does, good deeds to brighten, the day of another
