the illustrious faults of the fool

Post by mtmynd » March 7th, 2018, 8:43 pm

stop it now! stop that staring
you know it's not right or even
possible to see thru concrete...

who do you think you are,
some kinda superhero with
a cape that’ll make you invisible,

with eyes that pierce to the essence
all things within their focus? boo-shit.
not a chance. not even close, fool.

fools to the left of me
jokers to the right
here i am
stuck in the middle with you

could describe many situations...certainly the political climate comes to mind
If you do not change your direction
you may end up where you are heading

For sure a bit of Zimmie in that, but leaning towards the crooked pols where many a man found themselves tied tight,
belief in their delusion of super ones, stain proof and pure.

fools rush in
I can't see through concrete hells bells I can hardly see through a windshield

but us geezers thrive on broken hearts and insults

sure would like to put an emoticon here
to make my words my meaning clear



Even though I have become an old fool, even so I am forever young

maybe I can say it better in busted ku
He is still a kid
giving it all away
and he stopped buying green bananas

It's a trick question, don't answer! The fool has no faults, right?
