You Don’t Need Sugar

We fill our mouths with sugars and sweets

that dull our minds and cripple our feet.

A little here a little there, gives the flesh

more reason to lust and desire.

But with strict perseverance and the cutting off

of all that would cause our flesh to linger;

Would give a distinction to the soul so sharp,

that among the weary ways of a self-destructive world,

Conquerors will arise!
