Asmodeus keeps on leasing me    (Bb-Db-Db-Db Bb Bb C-Db C)

~Spoken~
His era is at hand!
More teenagers and unmarried couples are producing offspring
Pornography is now government regulated and all it does is destroy marriages
Rape cases continue growing in mass numbers across the globe
Abortions are at an abominable rate; women don't want the responsibility
~Spoken~

~Spoken~
Graphic art of inanimate characters are corrupting children's minds!
Beastiality is a sick desire that is part of reality
Students are being taught sex education as early as first grade
What ever happened with parents teaching them the RIGHT WAY?
People are getting into a disgusting act called necrophilia
Ask yourself. Have you EVER second doubted your own thoughts or decisions?
~Spoken~

You know they are wrong; Lust should be confined (2nd time)   (E Db C# Db C# Bb F# F Eb-F) 
Sexual desires taking control     (E-Db-C# Db-C#-B Bb-D B-Bb)
Black thoughts cram your head from the charging bull    (E Db C# Db C# Bb F# F-Eb F)

A FANTASY of lust! Pull yourself together!
~Shouting!~

(FACING FACTS)
That bull within is judgement from your own self-concept
It's time for you to start using common sense&logic
If you have problems with a SEXUAL ADDICTION, seek out therapy,
because grieving over yourself won't solve anything.

[Coyote Poetry]

Your words are true. Nothing is precious or appreciated anymore. Kids learn too much by internet before learning what love and kindness can be. It a use and abuse world. Few things are cherish. I like how you made your point in the poem. A outstanding poem. Thank you.

[Letemdangle]

I get the sensation you fight your desires like they are enemies. At times I agree they can be. However, if once in a while you can see yourself taking control of them with understanding the fight will be won more easily.
