Unmask the Fool

Unmask the fool Who openly dishonors What love really is And who suffers from it Who openly says that Who suffers from no love From it he shall die What love could he have Openly dishonors everyone Unmask-ing the truth The fool only loves pain Love really is more powerful Than all of this Russell Sivey Entrant into Debbie Guzzi's "Et cetera" Contest 2/26/2012
