The Old Wives Tale

 

The sound of the clock

     and melodies they sang,

     praising lord and his angels

     for protecting his son.

7 minutes has come

     and the hymns slowly fades out,

     but here comes the voices-

     those gossiping mom.

   they say:

 

Broken vases

     are meant to be fixed,

     while bended roses

     are to be pricked;

Diamonds and gems

     are meant for the rich;

     while stones and dust

     are for those in the drift.

They live and leech

      to pry from other’s life;

      and they laugh and smile

      from the other’s bad luck.
