For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. Romans 5:5

a doughnut here,
                   a doughnut there,
       what the heck?
             my hunger says
             that it is
                            okay;

a thought here,
                      a thought there,
       what does it matter,
       how does it hurt me?
             my mind savors
                     such
                salaciousness;

a lust here,
                  a lust there,
       does anyone really notice?
              i only have eyes
                      for such
                  desires;

a wayward word here,
                     a beguiling word there,
       do they really hurt anyone?
                   my mouth
                         craves
                      such morsels;

accordingly i
