TIME TO PAY THE PIPER -

As ye sow, so shall you reap

An oft heard profound expression

Meaning in much simpler terms

You’ll pay for every transgression

Harvest time will come for all

The fruits of ill-will, you will reap

Weeds will grow from those seeds you plant

And reveal the secrets you keep

There’s no escape from penitence

Though it may seem you won the race

Adverse acts and criminal behavior

Will eventually bring you disgrace

Stratagems and furtive motives

Will lead you straight to Hell

Hatred of your fellow man

Will take you there as well

Staying on the righteous path

Will maximize your chances

Of entering into Heaven’s gate

And dodging Satan’s lances

Sanctity walks a very thin line

Sin is often the sniper

No matter the span of years it takes

Comes time to pay the piper
