bitter talk

 

Wilfred would have said,

"Dulce et decorum est..."

To preach of love and honour,

To feed the milk of human

kindness and what-not,

Would he not have said so?


My daughter, my all,

Sip some Old Monk with me.

Be not fooled by such talk.

The world out there is not bad

If you know the games well,

Be wary, avoid my mistakes.


Do you protest why he,

My son, is free of bitter talk?

He knows what he has to do

To keep what fathers and sons have.

And, mothers and daughters have

To grab what fathers and sons have.
