Absorption has its own will

Matthew 7:6 New English Translation (NET Bible)

Do not give what is holy to dogs or throw your pearls before pigs;

otherwise, they will trample them under their feet and turn around and tear you to pieces. 

 

Self-included

 

If this is all I ever need ... Why do I keep on wanting?

Satisfaction gets fulfilled but only for some notion

Wants and wishes speed ... seldom recanting

towards the center of selfish there to trigger an emotion

 

Lives of the empty ... are impossible to fill

Accumulated possessions keep hollowness expanding

Like a dark hole ... as it absorbs at its own will

all things that won’t last in scheming and planning
