Summary:
Religious and spiritual poem by Peter Menkin. This series of revised poems on The Ten Commandments shows I am working on the great words of God. (Note that all three words, "The Ten Commandments" are capitalized. That was a problem with the first version. They were like The Ten Commandments themselves, didactic and no nonesense. I don't know if I've been able to get away from that, for God lays these down without much wiggle room.)

This is the Tenth Commandment, the one about coveting with a note about King David and the trouble he was into in wanting someone else's wife. God is strict with David, whom he loved and favored. His actions and predicament show how easily man falls prey to his weaknesses.
