Dangerous Dalliance

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

In the Old Testament, there are instances of evil women. Lot':s wife sinned, and her daughters committed incest, Delilah, Jezebel, Gomer, a prostitute who marries the prophet Hosea. and many more. Sinners have always ruined this world. Blessings
