(flow) And the one who listens close finds a harvest they can keep.

(beat) But Folly sits loud too — reckless in her tone,  
(flow) Shoutin’ from the doorway like chaos on a throne.  
(beat) She calls to the wandering, the ones unsure,  
(flow) Promising sweet moments that never stay pure.

(beat) “Stolen water tastes better,” she says with a grin,  
(flow) But her house hides shadows and the weight of hidden sin.  
(beat) Her guests don’t see the danger till they’re already inside,  
(flow) Walkin’ halls built on emptiness where wisdom can’t reside.

(beat) Chapter 9 reminds you: two voices, one call,  
(flow) One path lifts you higher, the other makes you fall.  
(beat) Choose the feast that fills you, not the thrill that deceives,  
(flow) ’Cause the life you build today is the legacy you leave.
