I see truth in your eyes,
That there sits with hope.
Expectations too i see dear beloved.
Be warned,
The world is but gory,
Men’s motive cunning and folly.
Smiles behind hide intentions untrue,
Embraces are a deceiver’s kiss
And kisses are a wild toxin.
Stray not from wise words,
The preaching of the anointed.
Avoid paths unclear,
The vile talk of heathen tongues beware.
Keep abreast the unsullied,
From their wells drink,
And on their lands plant seed.
Pay a sharp ear to the Philosopher’s teachings,
He who tamed the past and knows the future through dreams.
Pray to the gods,
That your heart believes are true.
Judge not by the old woman’s looks
Nor by the Orator’s speech.
Let wit lead thee dear beloved,
It led me.
The world is but gory
