Every mouthful of sweetness
Leaves a bitter after taste
Every Eden has a Serpent
Every ocean a Siren
Temptations that waylay you
To ease the path of life
And then weigh your feet with chains
Of moral righteousness
They term every pleasure illicit
And darken each moment exquisite
With heavy clouds of guilt.
Every sensual indulgence
Has a shameful afterglow
We shackle with sanctimony
The very gifts of life
Till it’s a mortal sin
To even feel alive
Wonderful.
