The Disguise of Sin

You are captivated by my beauty

When you look in my eyes

Blinded by the rays of untruth

That is always in disguise.

You are pleased by the warmth of my embrace

When you feel my soft touch

Crippled by the sting of numbness

You have come to love so much.

You are lured by the savor in each bite

When you digest my sweet taste

Seduced as you feast upon sour

You can’t realize toxic waste

  

You are charmed by the pitch in tone

When you hear my great words

Hypnotized by the noise of trash

Quality sound can’t be heard

You are drawn by the scent of my fragrance

When you sniff my bouquet

Breathless by the stench of odor

You can’t detect its decay

You are certain that you know who I am

Yet time and time again

In my deception you are trapped

You can’t win for I am SIN
