In Foolisheness

In Foolishness, Man conceiveth wisdom and gets rapture in arena Where wonders of science and refinement are exhibited. A man young is deemeth foolish to love a woman who Before, hath given her palm wine to another man, but wise For a young woman to marry an old ‘big man’ she doth not love. A man foolishly taketh the woman who hath my heart with her And foolishly I taketh her back when she cometh to me; And Men sayeth, foolish! because it doth not conform, like this line. Foolish the words of Christ seemeth to orthodox minds That a man is the hero, who becometh a scapegoat of life. Solomon! thou dinneth not with smart people of this earth; See Thy whole life contraveneth the norm of devout, cultured men. Thank thee Lord! Thou alone knowest my foolishness best, For in foolishness, is the happy redemption I striveth to win.
