A Fair Warning

I Corinthians 6:16-20

Whoever joins with a hussy is of one body,
In a marriage of flesh as dirty and shoddy;
But being joined of the Lord in the spirit,
Shall have a reward in Heaven to inherit;
A man does without the body every sin,
Except for sex committed of body within;
A body is for the Holy Spirit not our own,
God has merely given us only on a loan;
Each one of us been bought with a price,
Through the blood of Christ in a sacrifice.
We abuse our body in everything we do,
All that we eat and drink reflects on you;
The same way with our personal pleasure,
Causing a deterioration of God's treasure;
Back rooms of bars, house with a red light,
Getting intimate with a stranger any night;
For a short time of delight with some jades,
Not even thinking of possible VD or AIDS;
God evolved viruses since we do not listen,
In the hopes that we may learn our lesson.
