The path to temptation is only a step away, Only to step-away from success, Its a quick descent that you move from tip to pit, iceberg cold Its soft and smooth, slippery But it becomes a task to get back up, A journey back to the road Confidence becomes regrets Faith becomes doubt Plans become reminiscences Action becomes contemplation Happiness becomes anger A learning-curve becomes a curb Family to strangers, friends to enemies Imagination making reality worse, turning a dam into deep-ocean Not only the way is lost , character to immorality The spiral makes spineless However the indulgence With wit and determination for success, one will have success for diner and winery

Temp-tation
The path to temptation is only a step away, Only to step-away from success, Its a quick descent that you move from tip to pit, iceberg cold Its soft and smooth, slippery But it becomes a task to get back up, A journey back to the road Confidence becomes regrets Faith becomes doubt Plans become reminiscences Action becomes contemplation Happiness becomes anger A learning-curve becomes a curb Family to strangers, friends to enemies Imagination making reality worse, turning a dam into deep-ocean Not only the way is lost , character to immorality The spiral makes spineless However the indulgence With wit and determination for success, one will have success for diner and winery
