Take a Chance and Live

Your goodliness and Godliness parades around in my head and makes me scoff. I used to be that way too but the devil came by with her enticing ways. She had such a convincing spiel, I followed her gladly. Understanding now that the sinner part of me is more fun than not. Do you want to be stagnant? Stale? Left in the dirt? An old maid or worse? Your prissy ways and persnickety attitude is going to cause you to petrify. You will never experience the little death if you remain on this track. Come play with me, hear the pipes? Frolic and dance; the time is ripe. You deserve to live; eat from the fatted calf, drink some red wine. Stop standing in the mirror of others, nurture your wanton side. Lust and love, that’s all there is baby, and money and greed. Let yourself have a taste of the life you crave, the good life. They who pressure you into purity are jealous of your youth. They want you to become moldy, green, yesterday’s bread. Do not waste your talents, your hunger is vast You are voluptuous, adventuresome. Taste some life my friend! Let me help you by leading the way.....

I love "Let yourself have a taste of the life you crave, the good life." The self-righteous know deep inside they are yearning for more fun, more adventure in their lives. Yes. Whooppee!
