Kiss and Run

Please kiss and run, my only son
Her body is on fire.

Water rises,
Whisky on the table, 
A unique type of gold in a glass,
That type of woman isn’t in your social class
Moments like these are meant to last
No money to spend, but time to kill.
 My only son, a fall from grace,
Or a plunge from the hill
 
Take your misty mistletoe kiss
 Disconnect the extinguisher: 
That girl is on fire! Try not to diss
 
A battle beyond hopelessness for a woman in the ghetto
A segment of labor and a segment of pain

My son it appears that you are navigating your life 
In a fast pace of unsophisticated women:
... 

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful.
 Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion,
 seeking someone to devour.
