Temptation by Oracle(m): 4:36pm On Jun 07, 2007 |
Strong desire to stray and go the wrong way Deception so intense, attraction immense Answering the call leading to a great fall An action taken with uncertainty which brings about remorse The course for leaving the right track The reason for having a flaw The sweeter looking part of two choices The fall of the great tower Succumbing to the sweet deceptive voice, Is like a crack in the chain, which slowly becomes a break and leads to damage Temptation, the thief of ethics Harbinger of shame Reproach to humanity Deprives one of nobility An attractive force so powerful Almost impossible to overcome The wise will always resist temptations Though it is not easy, it requires endurance Yielding to temptation shows weakness It is the picture of a drowning man Who catches the straw It is the trap you almost didn’t fall into Once fallen, the action cannot be undone Overcoming proves your worth And makes a man stronger And ready for the next challenge It is more rewarding to overcome The thief of happiness: TEMPTATION For more poems click The Oracle's Corner |
