As my mysteries unfold,left with tragedies to be told,
Take heed to the warnings that brought death to my soul.
It all Started with a little spark of ambitions that glows,
And a little sense of responsibility so I could build my home,
I Tried working my way up earnestly so I could grow,
But it was hard keeping up with the pace for I was slow.
Little here , little there, was the little harvest from my sow,
And in the night time, upon my cradle I nap of the shame I own,
Was it a thought of greed or was I caught in the devil's scheme,
No I won't be a coward to blame it on that mischievous being,
For I had a will, and i chose a path,that even my soul disagreed,
It's the path of ease that has a bargain to enslave the heart to greed.
Just like the cravings that comes after taking a sip of a sweet wine,
Took a glass full and to my hunger it increased, for with greed I had dine.
And to continue in the light of my newly found joy,and in order to shine,
I sealed up the deal and gave up my conscience to a state of decline,
For that's the state required to delve into the heart of mammon's shrine,
I stole of mammon's gold and I became wealthy,as far as my soul aligns.
Unfolding the tragedies and the mysteries for I have just a little time,
An eye for eye, a gold for a piece of soul,I was robbed off every dime,
To the gold I stole,and the joy I found, I lost them all in the blink of an eye,
And all that's left are the regrets inside, and the tears that falls as I cried,
I stole of mammon's gold,and it has my soul in its cross to be crucified.
Take heed to the warnings, for the wages of greed surely has a price.
