Inspirational poems by MC

"Where The Wise Man's Love Should be" was taken from the bible (Proverbs 5:1-27) and I want to share to all of you.

My Son, pay attention to my wisdom,
listen carefully to what I know,
and so have prudence and knowledge to protect you;
these will keep a guard on your ups.
Take no notice of a loose - living woman
for the lips of this alien drip with honey,
her words are smoother than oil,
but their outcome is bitter as wormwood,
sharp as a two - edge sword.
Her feet go down to death,
her steps lead down to Sheol;
for from following the path of life,
her wants are undirected, irresponsible.

And now, my son, listen to me,
never deviate from what I say:
Set your course as far from her as possible,
go nowhere near the door of her house,
or you will surrender your honor to others,
your years to one who has no pity,
and strangers will batten on your property,
your labors going to some alien house,
and, at your ending,
when body and flesh are consumed,
you will groan and exclaim,
"Alas, I hated discipline,
my heart spurned all correction;
I would not hear the voice of my masters,
I would not listen to those who tried to teach me.
Now I am all but reduced to the depths of misery,
in the presence of the whole community. '


Drink the water from your own cristern,
fresh water from your own well.
DO not let your fountains flow to waste elsewhere,
nor your streams in the public streets.
Let them be for yourself alone,
not for strangers at the same time.
And may your fountain - head be blessed!

Find joy with the wife you married in your youth,
fair as a wind, graceful as a fawn.
Let hers be the company you keep,
hers the breasts that ever holds you captive.
Why be seduce, my son, by an alien woman,
and fondle the breast of woman who is a stranger?
For the eyes of Yahweh observe a man's ways
and survey all his paths.
The wicked man is snared in his own miss deeds,
is caught in the meshes of his own sin.
For want discipline, he dies.
and is lost through his own excessive folly.
