#SamsonAndDelilah
.
An angel announced,
your son will be strong.
Name him “the wall”
and leave his hair long.
.
As Samson grew
so did his story.
A victor of war
Covered in glory.
.
A lion attack
With claws sharp and long:
But though he was young
Samson was strong.
.
A riddle, a bet with
30 wedding guests.
A new suit for each
If they can guess.
.
Riddle betrayed
He took 30 lives.
Suits of the dead
To the guest of his wife.
.
The prettiest girl
The flawless man
More of a process
Than really a plan
.
His next wife Delilah
Made a deal with a king
To find out from Samson
About his strength thing
.
At first he misled her
As a practical joke
First wet ropes,
Then new ropes
.
In a surge of emotion
He felt great trust
Possibly trust
Probably lust
.
My hair is the trick
My hair gives me strength
It’s never been cut
Thus its great length
.
As Samson slept
Delilah cut his long hair
Then called to the king
To capture him there
.
Tortured and blinded,
mocked and beaten.
Samson was taken
Humbled defeated
.
With the last of his strength
He pulled down a wall
And down came the building
Killing them all
.
So be a good husband
And choose a good life
Be nice to lions
To live a long life.
