A Recipe For Life
I was asked to create a recipe for life...
So here it goes...
Add a pinch of strife,
Created by your foes.
Next, add some grief.
After learning that you're a lying theif.
Then, add some greed.
This, your ego might need.
We're not quite done yet,
Dinner isn't set.
We need to add some salt.
Because you know it's your fault.
Next, add some pain.
Get the kind that only you obtain.
Stir it up,
Then put it in the cup.
It's horrific,
But here's the ingredient that's absolutely terrific:
Add some cinnamon.
This is just a sentiment.
Add a bit of sugar.
I mean, it has to be there.
Finally, add your soul...
That is what completes the hole.
This is life.
This life is mine.
The type of thing that cuts me like a knife.
But trust me, I'm fine...
