Pact With the Devil

Measure twice and once to level

Your day has been long
Another Tuesday on the books
Light up the bong
Put on some song
Clean out the little nooks
Soon bed is on the hooks
Giving dreams some looks
As you fall asleep at last
A dream isn't what you find
A dilemma runs upon you fast
A question comes, its spell is cast
If you seek an end, its means to you will bind
A pact with devil signed
With consequences intertwined
To your bodily totality
Each end will take a piece
Its just rationality
Seems like practicality
That in place of good ole' elbow grease
You matter counts decrease
With this fate you must make peace
Want the world to stop all sin?
For abundance to abound?
Or do you just want that win?
Maybe a posse of strong men?
Have your life with friends surround
Personal resources compound
Know all things true or profound
That will cost one total arm
The next will take a leg
Your finger gone without much harm
With one eye you can charm
The other leg will need a peg
That comes out to one less egg
Without lips you cannot beg
You wake up fast and drenched in sweat
Its all just in your head
Blame it on unpaid debt
Or expectations you ain't met
Something settles like soft lead
Times-a-ticking till you're dead
Don't spend it all on bread
