It calls me
It beckons me
It bids me do IllTho I may
Tell it no
It calls on me still"It's not all that bad" it tells me
As it urges me on"Just do it once more,
It's not all that wrong"And though I may fight it
And I may protest,It just keeps on nagging
It does not digressIt hides its plain evil
Behind layers of goodIt conceals its secrets
Though in plain sight it's stoodIt fogs up your mind
Blinds you to the truthIt may try to tempt all
The old and the youthAnd now as I leave
And bid you adeuI pray thee to think
What is "it" for you?
