Ways of the Wicked
There's wickedness all about looking to devour
to & fro
Sometimes it comes with a mask acting nice putting
on airs like a show
Deceit is tricky laying low hiding in plain sight within
the crease
In the fold of deception are many clothes stripping you
of happiness & your peace
Sin has many faces equipped with smiles seeking to drag
you to its hell
At times it's so convincing with its tales that doesn't
give or show a tell
I show & tell you of its ways for I've studied its nature
like a class
It looks to mold you in its likeness & keep you in place
like a cast
We're moving fast toward a climax, but you know that its
pleasures never last
If it comes with an offer just duck your head & catch
the next one like a pass
