Samson and Delilah

Delilah tricked Samson and that wasn't fair.
She tricked him into revealing that his strength came from his hair.
She was a treacherous woman who was very mean.
She exposed his secret to the Philistines.
The Philistines shaved his head bald and poked his eyes out.
If Delilah hadn't been a traitor, this wouldn't have came about.
Samson was put between two pillars after they made him go blind.
He asked God to give him strength one last time.
He pushed the two pillars and caused everything to fall.
He crushed the Philistines to death and he killed them all.
It was sad because of what they did to him.
But it was even more sad when he had to die with them.
