Who's there?

It’s Greed

What do you want from me?

Money, cars, fame, women…
I want you to want more
The world is open to you
What are you waiting for?

Enough is enough
What use do I have for a lot of fluff?

You should get a mention
For that, you should strive
Those right by the beach
Why settle when you could thrive?

I like my cozy place
Between me and a beach there can be space

Your friends are striving for greatness
Don’t you feel left behind?
You think you have enough
But it’s all in your mind…

Life isn’t a race
Their paths I don’t need to trace

Why stay in a single place?
Isn’t there much to see in this space rock?
Mountains, rivers, beaches and valleys
The wide world will leave you in shock

I’ll see the world when the time is right
I don’t need to rush to see an amazing sight

Your mom is working still
Isn’t that sad to see?
Isn’t it time you repay her?
Why not let her rest in glee?

I lighten her load as much as I can
There is nothing to be done
I try my best
She doesn’t want a hollow son

Why do you not fall to temptation?
What keeps you so strong in your station?

I’m guided by the Lord
Begone Greed
Return to Hell
Return my peace, leave with speed
Took a while to make this one, hopefully the next will come sooner...

Who's There?

It’s Lust

What do you want from me?

I want you to have *** with your girlfriend,
the one that you are cuddling right now
Ravage her body
And make sure her thou

Why would I do so?
Respect to her I owe

All your friends have done it,
Why should you be any different?
They laugh behind your back
Don’t you see it’s urgent?

Why does it matter what my friends have done?
Their mistake is theirs alone

You are already 17,
It's about time you became a real man
You're already late
You should do it while you can

I’m only 17, there is no need to rush
The time will be right, with rings, rice, and such

It will feel good
Why must you wait?
You could have her right now
Your carnal desires you should sate

My desires don’t rule me
Patience is key

Why do you hesitate?
Do you not love her?
Do you not find her attractive?
Her body is yours to conquer

I do love her,
So what we have I will not taint
I’ll wait until the time is right
And for us, I will show restraint

Why do you not fall to temptation?
What keeps you so strong in your station?

I’m guided by the Lord
Begone Lust
Return to Hell
Return my peace, and become dust
