The price of purityA Poem by David McNeeley
So many give up what is precious
For earthly things and fleshly pleasures They think not of what will come from immortality Not one calculates in his soul what could be The price of purity Young man sees a girl But he sees her not for the girl What he does would hurt her deep And when she knows, it won't make her sigh, but weep Love is an amazing thing we share But confusing the way many flaunt it without care Crazier still some give it away free While unmarried they don't want to pay the price of purity Some sing that all they want is a faithful lover But they've slept with so many others And inside them sleeps a thousand could-be fathers With song and music their fault they cover They slit their souls open and let their feelings spill onto their fans If only they could see it's only temporary and present tense Oh! Brothers and sisters look on further than now If that happened then all could see what soon could be now The price of purity is one to be admired A bill one should want to be acquired To be paid when marriage between man and woman has transpired And a love unspoiled Will many a songist leave inspired © 2014 David McNeeley |
