Life's Charade
Intelligence means nothing in life’s charade
Where the heart leads the head, brings upon it shame
And the tongue is loose, wild and riotous
Hands and feet quick to run to and fro with violence
Eyes desire to witness evils that the devil would be impressed
Lips speaking lies flagrantly, though they swear hand on breast
Intelligence means nothing in this life’s charade
For it is wisdom we need as a player for this game
