The Pathetic Fool

Being too happy and too cheerful are the only moods that delight; crossing this wide sphere, I've seen the pathetic fool who clashed with life to wound his worthless heart! Never be like him feeling dispair and anger for the better things he always wished for but didn't merit; I saw across his face the pain of the loser... he stopped half way and realized he didn't have enough grit! The pathetic fool is a cold shadow that everybody feels, and that image remains itched in the memory of tears: he has eyes full of fear and anxiety that won't reach out to anyone who can truly convince him to end his doubt! Never tell him that he should change for his own sake, he's persuaded by the vain thoughts of his erratic mind: that some stranger might feel sorry for him and be kind... night will fall on him while shivers will make his body ache! The pathetic fool has lost his laughter of ironic invincibility, even himself realizes that he has swallowed a bitter poison that slowly kills; and he moans on his bed fighting off the thought of mortality... only the priest came to comfort him, soon he'll close his death-bound eyes! ,
