...Mumbo Jumbo Not.... Poem by Juneil Sechico

...Mumbo Jumbo Not....

Rating: 5.0


Tell I no words you know neither,
Nor show I something you saw never;
Read I no poems you write didn't,
Nor give I something you worked haven't.

Promise I no nail to nothing,
Nor speak I flowery words rotten;
Hand I no gold you own not,
Nor diamond made of mud

Tell I no truth composed by lie,
Nor humility of boastful sky;
Speak I no more fruitless voice,
Nor make a destructive noise.

Play I no mumbo jumbo,
Nor tell I much ado;
Neither fool I, nor yourself,
Just be you, be yourself.
