Temptation of Age

The young feel temptation of the first time,
The temptation of not knowing they know better
Or of thinking they don't want to.
They fall fall for sin and shiny advertising
and then...

If they like it, they find the sin of habit,
Which leads to wrathful sins if they can't have it.
This is the worst of all temptations,
To be too dissipated to appreciate your own mistakes.
and then...

Comes the temptation of age,
Different even when it's the same,
Old enough to know better and to resist,
and to realize the sin may never be offered again,
To realize that you may not have long to regret.

I believe that's the best temptation gets.
