I’ve come across you
twice before
and each time
I opened you!
Alas, even
the second time
I knew!
To tell you
the truth…
I would do it again.
It is said,
we run straight
to the causes
of our suffering
My experience
could be proof
Though I may act
quite aloof
(or at times a goof)
I am burning with
desire inside
egotistical pride
seven sins wrapped
up tight
in the unforgetting world
it is difficult
to let go of attachment
So faced with the choice
once more – to open
or leave closed
hell’s wicked door
I swing it wide
and hop the hearth
to the other side
to tell you the truth…
I’m just exhausting
negative karma
bringing about
the end of these
tiresome cycles
how ’bout you help?
Tell me the truth…
would you open the box?
