WHAT WAS TOLD vs WHAT WAS HEARD

What was told the flower that made it open,
was whispered in my ears
but I shut my eyes.

What was told the clouds that made them weep,
was whispered in my ears
but I did not bleed.

What was told the grape that made it whine
was whispered in my heart
I just sip a glass of wine.

What was told the hen that made it run
was whispered in my heart
I sit and stall.

What was told your sister that made her blush
was whispered in my champers
but I'm not in a rush.

What was told the brave that made him strong
was whispered in my ears
but I can't draw my sword.

What was told wasn't why they did
What they thought of what was told
is the reason they they did what they did.

Rather than chew words like sugarcane
Sift it
Take the part that nourish
and send the rest to burn in Hades.
