Critical Truths

Critical Truths

A Poem by Benson Osuji
"

Mincing thoughts with words

"
Blood is thicker than water
So the elders say
He who laughs last laughs best
So the people say

No one ever said
Take all as brothers
He who is last never laughs
No on ever said

An eye for an eye
The proverb goes
Iron sharpeneth iron
Proverb goes

No one ever said
An eye for an eye and everyone is blind
Iron sharpeneth iron and none is left
That no one ever said
B'cus we never hear
What we don't want to
