The Fool and The Privileged Child

I have never been schooled, in 
  Archetype and tarot, 
So please do correct me, 
  If I am wrong? 
The Magus corresponds, to the privileged child, 
As the Goat, corresponds to the Fool. 

And I know you Magus's 
For what you are:  
Spoilt and fallen, 
And far to far 
From self aware 
To be viewed as free 
From the bias, and the burden, 
That the donkeys made to bear. 

And you who ride the donkeys 
Have always been an ass 
Merely grasping at the reigns 
And doing as the donkeys want you to;
Which has truly only ever been 
Running down those fools, 
Gotten in the way; 
And this has never ever 
Saved, a single one of you, 
From those selves 
You have confused.
