We'd hold blame the page if it would flame with our wretched thoughts. |
Envious Pride I have woven my song into a cloak And have covered it with embroideries of old Out of old folk tales from folklore To cover from my head Down to my toes My body whole But the fools with envious pride Have tide manacles to it To wear for selfish vanity and arrogant stride. They have taken infringment And docked it At harbors port So they could flaunt its elegance To peering eyes As if they have by design Cultivated its origin As if by inheritance They have gained right To such a noble And righteous claim, Toward honor, integrity and majesty. For I see now the human condition How it races to be a thing Without caring for its essence or substance How it longs for the love and acceptance Of righteousness and pureness of innocense And without regard will abandon their souls To protect their lie of its sweet origination How and ever will they vainly attempt To sing in tones to hold such vowels Of a song they never learned To befriend. To sing in tones that only angels could aqcuire, A harmony that only honesty, truth and pureness Of a sweet innocent soul can attain. It will be known then To such a noble audience If not the whole world be lost to greed That such a song could be wrought By only that of a soul Filled from eternal unyeilding prowess for love And acknowledge without proof For these are the trechories of humanity. |
