The Piper Must Be Paid

You need to be aware o'eyes
Be careful where you gaze
Its easy to be lost outside
Amid the smoke and haze.

Lustful sights are everywhere
Enticing you to dream
Encircling you in their enchantments
Your mind in all their schemes.

To enchain you close to mother earth
Down in the muck and clay -
For yet another round of births
Forever and a day.

Yes - the senses will sink you
Then go their merry way
Leaving you in debt to the piper
And the piper must be paid
