The Fool
How long will this sleepless life last?
Iv'e been going down the wrong way on this road,
and I grow weary inside my soul.
Gone are all of the lives I have lived,
and yet all this time I am still unwise,
Because i have never known the truth.
{So maybe then I am the fool,
and i know my foolishness.
They may call me wise,
but indeed I am the fool.}
All this traveling I go, from birth to now.
I have not found myself a friend
Neither equal nor better than me.
The righteous ones, with all their nobleness
are all lost by their own religion.
So I shall resolute to walk alone.
I have lost you daughter.
I have lost my wealth.
And all that I claim.
But how can I call this mine own?
I can't even call myself mine own.
{So maybe I am the fool,
and I know my foolishness.
They may call me wise,
but indeed I am the fool.}
They say it is unwise to do things that may bring regret,
but the effect of nothing requires no repetance.
But instead I bring suffering to myself
and with a tearfull face , I weep.
So, I wont quiet until I fill my own grief .
I'll continue this evil deed
untill I learn from a wise man,
for I am unwise, in my own eyes.
{So maybe I am the fool,
and I know my foolishness.
They may call me wise,
but indeed I am the fool.}
