The Sins of the Father (Lues Contracted)
A crown to pay, a crown to stay
The night with whores bright painted
Then catch the stagecoach haste away
Your lustful body tainted
For know ye not what ye have got?
The harlot’s curse you hold within
Your faithful wife deserves it not
Yet she must pay for your foul sin
Oh treacherous man those vows you took
Worth but a shiny crown?
Scorned and sold for a single fuck
What value lives brought down?
And your young daughter now betrayed
Who will nurture more?
An orphan lost and though delayed
Must force become a whore
The night with whores bright painted
Then catch the stagecoach haste away
Your lustful body tainted
For know ye not what ye have got?
The harlot’s curse you hold within
Your faithful wife deserves it not
Yet she must pay for your foul sin
Oh treacherous man those vows you took
Worth but a shiny crown?
Scorned and sold for a single fuck
What value lives brought down?
And your young daughter now betrayed
Who will nurture more?
An orphan lost and though delayed
Must force become a whore

A harsh reality, this. The wages of sin are too often paid by those who have no choice or voice in the matter. Something that requires consideration before making a false move.
Loved the story, the rhyme, the food for thought. Many thanks, Blocat!

Thanks Scat you're a sweetheart! Glad you enjoyed it. I tried to set it circa 1815when such a happening was a death sentence.
