That Which Cannot Be Satisfied…

He had a hunger that could never be satisfied…it dwelt in his deepest, most secret place in his heart…and try as he might, he could never satiate that hunger inside him…

He wished so badly to see an end to the pain…his brother's pain…his own pain…all the pain and suffering in the world around him that seem to grow exponentially which each passing day….

He wished to know forgiveness…from his family…from God…most of all, from himself, though he knew he would never find that forgiveness within himself…he couldn't…not after what he had done….

He wished to live a life he chose for himself…one that was all his own, complete with his own mistakes…his own triumphs…he had never had that…a life of his own…though he craved it desperately with ever fiber of his being…

He resigned himself to his fate…that life would never be his…he knew that now…but it never ceased to burn inside him like living fire…that need…that terrible hunger…but…what was one life when compared to many? What were his desires worth when weighed against the fate of the world? They were not even a blip or the radar…so…he carried on…day after dreadful day…because after all…needs must when the Devil drives….
