WISE RUBBISH

Tags: mocked

The frog laughed at the slaughtered cow 
For dying without a grave 
The farmer scoffed at the frog 
Its Limbs would taste nice in the soup 

The Ruthless killer Mocked his victim 
They're only cows fed for slaughter 
The devil mocked the killer 
Your soul would make a fine ornament in hell 

Fire mocked ice 
And faced its melted wrath 
The moon didn't put the sun in its eyes 
And dawn came very fast 

The warrior's sword, the official's pen 
Are both tools for bloodshed 
Conscript a poet for war 
And see his resistance written in ink 

Invite an artist to the battlefield 
And everyone would like to be a hero 
Take an author to war 
And watch him pen drown his grief 

Do not trust the girl you met at an auction house
She'll always follow the highest bidder 
Yesterday was once tomorrow 
Tomorrow would don the clothes of yesterday 
Invest wisely.
