Hunger

After Philippians 2:1-4

The hunger for glory

is an illness, a consumption

laying waste, a conceit

of soul, or heart, a desire

to be elevated. It is

the hunger never sated,

because glory is

an addiction, by nature

never enough, always

coupled with the need

for more, because more

is never enough,

an opiod of the soul

that requires more

and more, insatiable,

a craving overwhelming

that leads to paralysis.
