muddy the waters
~ taking all the footwear when
the rain starts to fall
Father waters he'll
hold ~ I swear it's gospel truth
chicken little's right
pour cold water on
should stop fights with you ~ but not
all sayings perfect
uncharted waters
~ idea map for ships to
follow make-up one
be water off a
duck's back ~ finger pointing an
axe to grind slander
blood is thicker than
water ~ our family line
has drawn our pure blood
“Do as I say” “not as I do”,
Is this anything for children
To see when they are brand new?
The confusions of life,
Are at best, difficult to traverse,
So why muddy the waters,
With contradictory actions and verse?
