Instant Gratification


Life is hard.
Death is certain.
Pay no attention to
That man behind the curtain.
That man is unattractive.
That man will steal your money.
He’ll laugh his ass off at the bank
Because he thinks it’s funny.
That man will curse and beat you
When you’re already down.
He’ll summon hell to meet you
This devil in a crown.

But life is short
Death too certain
Not to steal a glimpse of
That man behind the curtain.
That man is pretty sexy.
That man thinks you’re the shit.
He’ll make you feel the most you’ve felt
And make you beg for it.
That man will curse and beat you
It’s true; but in the end
This man behind the curtain
Will be your only friend.
