THE CROP<br />
<br />
You can sow your seeds in secret,<br />
But you won&rsquo;t get what you expect.<br />
History can safely predict <br />
You&rsquo;ll reap ragged weeds of regret.<br />
<br />
You stop to camouflage your field,<br />
But the crop cannot be concealed.<br />
<br />
So many seeds,<br />
So little time.<br />
Your hunger feeds<br />
On petty crime.<br />
<br />
It&rsquo;s harvest time<br />
Down on the farm.<br />
Pay for your crime;<br />
Undo your harm.<br />
<br />
Everybody knows<br />
You pay as you go;<br />
You reap what you sow.<br />
<br />
Step down from your tractor of sin;<br />
God knows where that bad actor&rsquo;s been.<br />
Even the Grim Reaper will grin<br />
As he gathers your last crop in.<br />
<br />
You stop to camouflage your field,<br />
But the crop cannot be concealed.<br />
No matter how you wheel and deal,<br />
Your folly will still be revealed.<br />
<br />
So many seeds,<br />
So little time.<br />
Your hunger feeds<br />
On petty crime.<br />
<br />
It&rsquo;s harvest time<br />
Down on the farm.<br />
Pay for your crime;<br />
Undo your harm.<br />
Everybody knows<br />
You pay as you go;<br />
You reap what you sow.<br />
<br />
You can sow your seeds in secret,<br />
But you won&rsquo;t get what you expect.<br />
History can safely predict <br />
You&rsquo;ll reap ragged weeds of regret.<br />
<br />
You stop to camouflage your field,<br />
But the crop cannot be concealed.<br />
No matter how you wheel and deal,<br />
Your folly will still be revealed.<br />
<br />
Step down from your tractor of sin;<br />
God knows where that old plow has been.<br />
Even the Grim Reaper will grin<br />
As he gathers your last crop in.<br />
<br />
You reap what you sow.<br />
