"What is the answer?" "Where does it end?"
These are the questions, this life which attend...
Divorce and remarriage? Perhaps suicide?
Taken by force in life's outflowing tide.

Children who wonder, "What is this love?"
Cast off so quickly in life's push and shove-
In childhood they learn how to cheat and to hate-
Then learn it's frustration, forever, too late.

Girls who start out with those stars in their eyes
Learn all too quickly, in painful surprise
One gains their affections, with acts sweet and kind
They get what they want and they leave her behind.

The coin's not one sided, there's women out there
Who prey on the guileless, and bring him despair
They teach all those things that he shouldn't know
From conquest to conquest I've watched as they go.

The vilest offenders, I truly believe-
Take up a Bible, proceed to deceive,
Destroy all hope one retains in their breast-
Forever to rob them of peace and of rest.

Sir, look not to people for help in this life-
If you are married, then stay with your wife,
Or ladies go win them with all of your charms-
And they won't seek solace in some woman's arms.
