risen and redeemed
despite diligence of virtue’s outreach
vice lurks adamant seeking a weak breach
sweet talking as it beckons with a grin
spirals down spinning slow into a sin
my path did once veer off the righteous cause
sank steady in quick sand of sinful jaws
my muddled mindset lured into abyss
basking in toxic air of faux pas bliss
upon hitting the grimy gloomy pit
at the very bottom I saw to it
I learnt to spurn the taste of tempting trait
the promised land of vice deceitful bait
