A Fool's Brim
Only hate would try to destroy a family
Put a mother against a daughter
Husband against wife
And a father against son.
Only greed would attempt to
Empty a nest
Of a mother’s precious eggs
Robbing her of existence.
Only bitterness looks for those who
Have not forgave
Will not pray
Opening the door and leaving way.
Only a fool
Would fall into another fool’s trap
Lay patiently
And wait for a fool to get him out.
