The Prostitute

She eats of a stranger
And wipes at her mouth
Saying there is no danger
She smiles to pout

Well, it was not murder
Just second to it!
If she'd seen just further
She'd never do this

Selling herself
She becomes much less
Property, flesh
When lives, she could bless


'Is such moral turpitude so wrong? That question has always been asked, usually by the guilty. "Such is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith, I have done no wickedness" (Proverbs 30:20). No murder here. Well, maybe not. But sexual transgression? "He that doeth it destroyeth his own soul." Sounds near fatal to me.' Of Souls, Sermons, and Sacrament  Elder Jeffrey R. Holland  BYU 1989
