The Desire to Conquer
Aug 22, 2017 · 1 min read

To own all things,
There are
Two ways
Own their land
Or own their hearts.
To own their land
Means to own their food,
And to own their homes
And to own their places of work
Their places of worship
And their places of sin
Buy what you can
Take the rest
And hide
They might come looking
To own their hearts
Means to let them worship you
And to let them give you all other things.
Sell yourself totally,
Constantly.
Wait.
They will forget.
Immense wealth is hard to come by,
And easy to lose
Worship is hard to come by,
And easy to lose
Conquer thyself
That sticks around till death.
