The Lure of Lust

Magnetic forces deep within

Cosmic laws control the spin

As we dwell in perfect sin

I wonder if he feels chagrin

.

A scripture from a book was taken

Crucified and thus mistaken

Your soul exposed and now awaken

The debts you’ll pay are not forsaken

.

Greed consumed and lustful thoughts

I felt the burn but heard no shots

Before me stands a promised land

I reach to grasp, but there’s no hand

.

Asked again what I have learned

Confused I shrug with no concern

I take a number and wait my turn.

Eternal life or eternal burn

.

Greed pursues us with a dance

Seduction lures us into chance

In pursuit of sheer romance

The evilness of which we prance

.

The sphere consumes us in its wrath

Providing detours to our path

I sold my soul he grinned and laughed

But now I fear the aftermath
