(Based on the "strange woman" mentioned in Proverbs. Read the entire chapters for better understanding...)
(Proverbs 2:16–19 ~
To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God. For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead. None that go unto her return again, Neither take they hold of the paths of life.
Proverbs 5:3-5 ~
For the lips of a strange woman drop as an honeycomb, and her mouth is smoother than oil:
But her end is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.
Her feet go down to death; her steps take hold on hell.
Proverbs 7:4–5 ~ Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; And call understanding thy kinswoman: That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the stranger which flattereth with her words.)
A strange woman
can turn you into
a deranged human
Lust not after her
She'll leave you to
just rot, heavy cost incur
Eye-grabbing, she will lure
Don't fall into her trap
Soul-stabbing she is, stay pure
With false vows, she entices
Be not seduced by her beauty
She'll waltz, carouse, all wayward vices
Stay away from her streets
Her house directs to death
Play, then prey - that's how she defeats
An amorous alliance with her
can steer straight to hell,
A dangerous dalliance with a sweet whisperer
