It's Never Enough.

January 18, 2016

When I was a young boy,way back in primary school,I used to play soccer,and even now,given a chance,I'd still play it.I love it.I used to play till my knees pained,and even when in pain I still limped chasing the ball.

Also I never missed watching Harambee Stars play,I literally felt the pain when we lost.It was total anguish.

Then I realized I'm hurting myself for nothing.

I stopped watching them play,since most of the time they disappointed.

Soccer was never enough.

It's never enough.

We eat delicious meals,but if it's not nutritious,or it's poisonous,we will ultimately experience the effects.
Now,or in the future.
But we will continue getting hungry even after eating a nutritious meal.
The stomach can never be full.
The glands in the tongue,would prefer all the sweet stuff there is in life.
And even though the doctors have warned they are harmful to health,we don't care.
For our tongues,keep wanting it,it's never enough.

You will be walking in the streets admiring all the beautiful things.
You will be tempted to turn to see that brown lady,short dressed or showing the entire map of the world.
Well,if she is attractive to the eyes,she is,but what about the heart?
Is she attractive to it.
And the mind?
And if she is,what about your wife or the lady you are committed to,who not only won your eyes,but your heart and mind.
And tell you what?
There will always be beautiful people.
The eyes,will never get enough.

The beats are pleasing,even though the message is vulgar or dirty.
The lies are orated.
We wish to listen to what favors us or justifies our actions.
The ears will never get enough.

The touches were tricky.
The nerves ticked.
The body shivered.
We yearn for the same,again and again.
For the the gentle touches will never be enough.

The aroma whets our appetite.
The fragrance, sweet and sleepy.
For the sweet smell is never enough.

It's not enough and and never will be

.
Exploration of what our senses want will remain to be a mirage.

Even after gratifying them,we will still need more and more.

The minute we seek to go deeper and deeper in the quest to satisfy our senses,the more we will realize how futile it is.
The emptiness will never leave us.

We have to pursue something bigger than our senses,we have to yearn to feed our hearts with the pure thoughts and information,so that we can sieve what our senses can be enticed to.

If we keep on falling into the demands of our senses,we will keep on chasing wind,and getting deeper and deeper into the road of unsatisfaction.
The road that will ultimately lead to more misery and killing the conscience.

And I can't help but remember Dunstin Kensrue's song,It's Not Enough

Lyrics;

Though all the wealth of men was mine to squander

And towers of ivory rose beneath my feet

Were palaces of pleasure mine to wander

The sum of it would leave me incomplete

Though every soul would hold my name in honor

And truest love was always by my side

My praises sung by grateful sons and daughters

My soul would never still be satisfied
