People buy temporary pleasures

For permanent pain

They suffer but don't realize

There is nothing to gain


Short term things

Don't last forever

But who uses it mindlessly

Think they are clever


It makes us feel good

Makes us feel alive

But our soul inside rotts

And we wait for death to arrive


It's a trap where everyone goes

No one will be spared

Wise ones break out of it

Before the bad news is declared


Still it's hard

Even for the strong ones

The fight will always be there

Until there is breath in our lungs
