Heart

Under thatched roof, in open savannah, Spinster weaves a tale
Flames a flicker, children gasping, at a story of betrayal
Far away and long ago, a young man chosen for his heart
Fortune smiled upon him, a wicked smile, and tore the man apart
Heart-man generous, Heart-man brave, Heart-man trust in everyone
Heart-man loses, Heart-man shamed, Fortune laughing at her son
Man with heart makes many friends, Spinster tells the kids
But hearts and men can both be broken, friendships can change with the wind
Heart-man learn, Heart-man grow, he meet new friend, her name Fate
Fate's sister Charm also like Heart-man, Fate tell Charm she has to wait
Fate show Heart-man happy future, he tell her that he will share
Impatience urges Charm, she curses Heart-man, he thinks Fate no longer there
Blinded by Charm, Heart-man is happy. Twisted, Fate seeks revenge
She will make Heart-man a very smart man so his happiness will end
Now cursed by wisdom, Heart-man wallows, he wanders far, discovers Truth
She is sad, lonely and naked, he offers clothes but she refuse
She say who are you, he say no one, she is so angry at his lies
I see right through you, you are Heart-man, see through me to see your life
So he learned his mother scorned him and of thieves and men of pride
He learned of reasons for some treasons and why friends may switch their sides
But Spinster is it true that Zebra cannot change his stripes
Not for me to say wise child, Zebra must decide
