Sagely Sayings, Or Sagely Fibs
A sagely saying before when I was
That blood is more thick than water
Once I believed it, once, just once it was
The trust I bore the desire
I counted all before me to be wiser
My flaws! I should have counted not
The pains that I bear would have been lighter
And my tears would never so, drop
A sagely saying so true? So trite
Cannot yet soothe my broken ribs
Caused by my fooled thus swollen heart
Sagely sayings or sagely fibs?
Your hearts beat strange like we’re not family
Like you or I is with a curse
Your pumping veins holds not our blood in it
By you it had been made impure
This sagely saying thus used for trickery
To play our hearts so easily.
