Once You Look Your Hooked

Next time you are tempted to look at sin
Do not take another look again,
Turn your face and stay away,
Once you look, you’re hooked.

Just because you can see a sin,
It only becomes one when,
You stop and take a second look
Once you look you’re hooked.

What ever that sin may be,
When your eyes makes you heart see,
An affair, an obsession any temptation in the book,
Once you look, you’re hooked.

It takes your approval to commit a sin,
It only becomes a sin when,
You invite it into your life,
Once you look, you’re hooked.

My wish is for everyone to fill their void with passion. That will be stronger than any temptation.
