Tis an amazed thing

Tis an amazed thing 
How men make asses
Of themselves 
Over mere attraction

The reaction
Is a faction
That flourishes
In folly

Yea but oh
Thee doubleminded
How kindness
Doth quickly change

When attractions
Are lost
But count thee the cost
Thy price is great

Mere man would 
Succumb to hate
Or rather debate
Than show kindness to all
Whether great or small

And so surprised
Are they
Who but
Play in the sand

For soon
The tide
Doth wash away
All that may man hide

And carry to sea
Thy secrets
But not easily
Lost are they

Twill return
Time and again
As the tide
So turns
In the hearts
Of men
