Battling Addition

Men do love sensuous naked girls Pervocatively posed do their caresses Engulf the male’s fantasy world Purged in dark secrets The male’s mind explores Only to give heart To a make believe girl Day-in day-out man battles within Until man’s addition is no longer self-viewed sin Men do love the casino’s glitzy lights With cards in hand or to roll the dice To wager it all in-spit of family needs Man flies to Sin City then crawls home on knees Sorry proclaimed to all the loved ones Seven times seventy forgave Man makes a promising plea Until a week’s work and money in hand made Again to go -does man make plan Beguiled by trickster until man has none Day-in day-out man battles within Until man’s addition is no longer self-viewed sin So pray do man’s beloved unto God who saves Remove this addiction and cast it away Give beloved man the strength to open self-eye The reflection of sin will gall man’s eye Day-in day-out that man will battle within Until man’s addition is plainly self-viewed sin
