A-Girl Sage Poem by Hell 'Farya

A man asked, 'Where sprout truth? '
None did answer but a girl.

She said:
'Whence ask where truth sprout?
Have you upheld the banner of thine house,
Or dry thine wheat in sun's face?
If ye do not either,
Let such not be heard of your good mouth.'

Then he went on and asked again,
'Why shall I do these? '

Again she replied:
'Oh vain man, why shall you not?
If thou didst brag and bang with the face on it,
And didst shower in her glory,
Why then shall ye not uphold her
Or trust her with thine wheat? '

Angrily, he argued,
'How dost this tell where truth sprout from? '

The girl again replied:
'Hast thou not been closed in justice,
Or racked thy brother off his plates
Would you not have known
That the truth lies in the heart,
And from there it sprout from.
But for thy heart is evil,
Harbored terror and mistrust.
Thou sought an end in every means,
And never did thou spake truth.'

So he left her presence.
