Great was the fire destroying everything
Smoke engulf reality yet seeing nothing
Blinded by words deceiving
The Jester entertained sentiments believing
Gone are material wealth
Cold are the winds that affect my health
Shame and pride I can't hide
Scandal blew near and wide
Vision blurred couldn't hear a word
Poison pot the witch stirred
Empty the nest of the blue bird
Sound the advice couldn't be heard
Engagements made in haste
Time past such a waste
Sprayed in the face by mace
Sour fruits pallet taste
First to do no harm
Negotiated land-mines on the farm
Sirens rang out the alarm
Eye candy was on my arm
Silent rivers dry
Tried it on for size
Seldom long goodbyes
Everything dies
Dust till dawn the Jezebel creep
Wolves adorn themselves as the sheep
Hills climb slippery and too steep
Still, waters ran very deep
Woke up to such a surprise
Waters flow not from my brown eyes
Now I see it all as lies
From ashes, the Phoenix will rise
