A COST TOO HIGH

CAUGHT IN WEBS

The impulse to surround us with beauty is strong,
just take care not to fall into snares that are wrong,
we love big houses and cars that shine,
just remember the cost further down the line.

When running after material possessions,
filling the lusts of our physical obsessions,
the cost of our soul is really not worth it,
always make sure that it stays legit.

When we climb down the ladder with cheating and fraud,
it brings us in bondage to an earthly lord,
horror, regrets and remorse will follow,
as we fall by the wayside in dread and sorrow.

Sometimes the cost is just too high,
our pillows are soaked with the tear we cry
too late we see we are caught in a web,
as truth reveals the way we're misled.
