Once

Once a cheater always a cheat While living a life just to deceive To practice fraud, which no-one will applaud And the truth no one will ever believe. To be unfaithful or to go astray Being a crook each and every day Trying to evade, and then to escape The evil tricks that you have made. Once a liar always a liar Dishonesty will become your empire Your words will become colder, when you become older And your only warmth will be hells fire. The truth it will become your enemy The words you speak will be your seeds Truthfulness will be your foe, as your history will unfold Then your words will be hewed away like weeds. Once a user always a user Then later on to become an abuser That will be yourself, unto you and everyone else Then lastly you will become a looser. You take from anyone all you can Whether they be either woman or man You think you deserve, what they have earned And for no one do you ever give a damn. Once a thief always a thief Bringing nothing but worries and its grief To take what is not yours, your dignity is the lure As dishonesty is all that you do seek. You take and steal what you do not own While believing it is yours and yours alone Though you have no regret, and your never upset But someday for your thievery you will atone. Once a whore always a whore Could any man or I say anymore Giving away your dignity, with no shame or pity As you always move to another mans door. Your soul and body it will become stale As on the marketplace you put your soul up for sale But you have no regret, from the men you have kept Maybe someday they too will hear your conscience wail. Once a woman you once were At least that is what I once had heard You had virtue and pride, and dignity deep inside But to all now that seems so absurd. They say it was so very long ago With a different person inside of you did grow When you were devout, and sins you did with out But that was before the real you we did know. Randy L. McClave
