SOLOMON
A prayer for wise guidance,
Book of Proverbs, you penned.
What could be wrong with that?
Solomon, what happened?
Fortune 500 guy
And pleasures unbridled,
Um, a thousand women???
What’s with foreign idols???
Outside? All “together.”
Inside? Another matter.
His heart’s center, he lost.
His life then would shatter.
If the core of God’s plan
Isn’t the core of your hope
You’ll compromise your heart,
Skiing the uphill slope.
He used wisdom to serve
His purposes, digressive,
The “good life,” and pleasure.
Appearance? “Impressive.”
“Follow” My principles
While your heart is your own,
Just puts off what’s coming:
Heartache, foolishness, groans.
You’ll turn to tougher stuff
With pleasures, overtime.
Trouble you will find and
A deep hole will you climb.
If pleasure could fell
The once wise Solomon,
Be warned! And be cautioned!
They can fell any man!
