When true beauty comes to light

It can be such an amazing sight

Much to a Man's delight

But when beauty is a mask for evil

Such beauty causes upheaval

And there comes a judge's plight

The Man face against a Beauty's vengeful might

Flight or fight, which is right?

For such injustice

The Beauty sought her own justice

For through her song

For so, so long

Audience heard how she was wronged

Yet attempted murder is against the law

How does one deal with this one flaw?

Things done immoral

Shall be punished as normal

The Man a death sentence

The Beauty imprisoned ten years of repentance

The Beauty held no regret

For the Man paid his debt

Under moonlight

The Beauty felt the judge was upright

Kowtow in respect to the young Lord that dealt with this plight
