F06 The Death Of Solomon Poem by Simple Simon

Does anyone remain the same,
When he's at the height of fame?
No, his ego and pride, then start
Loading up his head-weight.

The same thing did happen
In the case of King Solomon.
He became unfaithful to God.
Other gods, he worshiped.

Almost seven hundred,
Princesses he married,
Besides three hundred
Extra women, he loved.

God warned him twice,
But he ignored His advice.
The Lord disliked his ways,
But waited for many days.

This kind of degradation,
Led to his moral deprivation.
Yet, God didn't punish him.
For David's sake, He left him.

Many turned against him,
As God wasn't with him,
He couldn't kill them,
But could only chase them.

The Lord taught a lesson,
In this way to Solomon,
Who was getting old
And was losing his hold.

One day, Solomon died.
At David City, he was buried.
With this, his chapter closed.
His son, Rehoboam succeeded.

In the history of mankind,
His name and deeds find
An everlasting prominent place.
There's no doubt about this.
