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.
