Fie

sick of this nonsense.....

O fie on faith that never comes to good!
Why keep your faith when none have faith in you?
Must many moan beneath a sombre hood
While slowly rotting into residue?
O fie on fate that never fortune gives!
Hath not a worm the right to his desire?
As live he may, he but in passing lives,
With scarce a name or merit to admire!
O fie, how false the wisdom of the world:
That faith is firm and fortune favours bold!
Nay, hath a noble banner been unfurled
For those who heart and soul had moiled for gold?
O life is foul to care not for the flair
That wafts and wilts within the wisps of air!
