Even Solomon

"Even him did outlandish women cause to sin." Nehemiah 13.26b

Even Solomon. 

A fame torn apart 
a name blotted 
honor dissipates by mere act
the villain, women,
The Victim Solomon,
The acts, Lust.
bevies of licentious libidinous passerby 
in ambuscade hunting destiny 

Even Solomon, 
Reputation buried in-between thighs
A king captured 
Indelible stigma
women got him.
