Temptation

This was a silly little poem about temptation that turned into much more.

Seduction and temptation

lead to gestation

and because we are humans,

we do not need incubation

for our generations

Girls, or ladies, rather,

would you care for a demonstration?

Safe sex, of course.

Let's hold off on those future generations.

Temptation

leads to frustration,

and teasing, and illusions

that cause confusion

and when contortion

and flexibility become important,

temptation

stems into the creation

of new generations,

even if that was not meant to be

part of the equation.

Interest and pleasure

can come in equal measure

but there could possibly

be consequences to weather,

so we sometimes have to control

temptation

so that we do not accidently create

new generations,

or cause gestation,

when we ourselves are still considered to be children,

though we see ourselves as young adults.

Temptation

can lead to so many things,

though, in nature’s eyes, it has one ultimate goal.

It is a product of hormones

who had once hibernated within our own

bodes, and have now come in

to home in

on our frustrations

and evolve into temptation,

that we must control,

to hold back those new generations,

if just for a little longer.

Sometimes we feel we cannot,

but most of the time, we manage to.

A solemn few

of us manage to control it completely.

They remain innocent,

and act heaven sent,

because they got to stay innocent

longer than the rest of us,

who have become just a tiny bit corrupted.

We removed the child we used to be

and accidently

replaced them

with temptations,

though we are still considered children.

But we are not like children.

We are young adults,

stumbling through our life,

fumbling for meaning,

and trying to figure out just who we are,

and who we’ll be.

And we look back in our history

to see if who we want to be

resembles who we are,

or who we were at one time.

Hormones ravage our bodies and temptations

become prominent in our lives.

They may not be the biggest part

of our lives, but they still seem pretty

important in our teenage lives

and beyond.

Temptation

led to our generation,

along will all the others.

Temptation.

One of life’s many frustrations.
