Desire , you are a liar, you do not know the way<\/span><\/p>\n

You had\u00a0 promissed me happiness at the seventh milestone<\/span>
\nI walked for so long, enticed by your lies <\/span>without rest nor sleep,
\nmy nerves torn apart from tension
\n<\/span>But when I arrived at the seventh\u00a0 stone, with a shameless face,<\/span>
\nas a prophet you told me ” still some metres more”<\/span>
\nI swallowed the bait and continued my road my back hunched under the load<\/span>
\nAnd happines always some metres further away.<\/span>
\nSome metres became soon kilometres ! <\/span>How long will this comedy\u00a0 last?<\/span><\/p>\n

But now I aspire at a life of joy today and forever<\/span>
\nI do not want any longer to\u00a0 be abused\u00a0 by your too bright promisses<\/span><\/p>\n

You have forced so much my pace that I could never enjoy<\/span> the flowers, the lacs and the mountains.<\/span>
\nThe bread and drink you gave me have torn my stomach and ruined my liver.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please now, go away from here and go away quickly!<\/span>
\nIt is time for me to stroll and to discover mysterious hidden flowers<\/span>
\nThe true joy will be always with me now<\/span>
\nNevertheless let us not part as ennemis,<\/span>
\nWho knows !\u00a0 may be you have helped me on the way.<\/span><\/p>\n

Please do not\u00a0 forget to close very well the door behind you<\/span>
\nAs you are going out of my life.<\/span><\/p>\n
