Living in fools’ paradise believing lies
“Open your eyes”, are words for the wise

No matter what context you take this in Edwin, this is "my experience"..do you mind?? this truth stands out for me...and you're so right about we've all become chattering monkeys without an original thought as well demonstrated by yourself

Definitely "words for the wise," Annalise. I lingered in fools' paradise long enough to know this is true. My eyes are open now! Love, Carolyn

Much truth and wisdom Annalise in this simple yet poignant poem.. so much is lost when living with eyes closed ... enjoyed your uniqueness today my friend...
