Multiple strands of thought
Entice and entreat with equal measure
Daily distractions of conscience
Deter the most steadfast of minds

But blame not the thoughts
Truly unbiased as they are
Desires and ambitions too
Manifest themselves through them

With resolute regularity they return
Every day with the same offerings:
Desires and distractions
And to strive and struggle for the former
Is just another strand of thought
