Lament
Pain, is a funny thing
 Yet it seems to sing
 As you suffer and beg
 Until you pay an arm and a leg
 
 I’m sorry for what I am
 But I cannot change what’s on the cam
 What happened, happened, so drop it
 Or must you dwell on dirty bits?
 
 If I could change myself, I would
 But I can’t, and that pains me as it should
 I’ll probably get arrested for what I’ve done
 But that doesn’t make a difference, because they have already won.
 
 It’s so easy to satisfy an addiction,
 Especially if it’s plastered all over in perfect diction.
 They unknowingly show the images
 And can hardly tell the differences. 
 
 The forbidden fruit is all around
 In schools, in parks, and in towns
 That’s what makes it compelling
 And everything else repelling
 
 It is a disorder as real as dyslexia
 And as incurable as dementia
 One should not despise them
 As much as sympathize for them
 
 They are victims, just as their targets
 And it’s never as brutal as the jargon
 They post. They desire love and friendship
 But it always crashes and burns like the Concorde airship
 
 Its real and it must be consoled
 Unless you want several more paroled
 To no avail and have repeaters
 Back on the streets like reapers
 
 The desire pulls 
 But the law makes the rules
 And my own soul tells me it’s wrong
 But all I want to do is sing my song
 
 I’m sorry, God, but I tried my best
 I guess that this was just too hard of a test
 I’ll try to repent, but I’m probably going to Hell
 But I won’t stop trying until the tolling of that bell.
