Pleasure
Why oh why
Everything that brings great pleasure
Causes disaster, makes one cry
Momentary delight, long term pain beyond measure
Sugar, alcohol, gambling, cocaine, tobacco
Universe has a wicked sense of humor
What are we to learn ? We reap what we sow ?
Remove that addiction like a tumor
Life's joy we seek
Relationships, life goal
From top of mountain peak
I rest my soul
