Take it or Not

If this I may
I shall say
That only a fool
listen to a drunkard on a stool

If thy see your worth
In such fools
Thy might just perch 
on such stools

Then some would say
From such a mouth
One might look South
in a month even May

To listen to a grain
of truth 
From a mouth
full of pain 

That slurs
and curse
Highlighting some truth
that may form the roof

Serving as proof
Long awaited
Although guarded
to set free a fool

Whom brought truth with glee
shouted on the roof tops
sprouting the crops
Of the innocent  fool free
