Best Fooling Poems
Fooling YourselfTry to sustain yourself on truth if you can,
but your noble aim will quickly come to naught.
Life is bitter, and so too are the actions you must take,
and they require skills that can't be taught.
Only the honest try to blind others, for they keep,
within their...

Fooling Us AllDumbing us down
no wonder we don't know
unaware for so long
feeding
on what's been eating us
"but the bait tastes so good!"
we say
drooling diabetes down lazy lips
entranced
by high definition devices
all the world's shiny entices
and then there's addictions
the medications
vibrations
frequencies
they're fingering Mother Earth's atmosphere to
seducing mankind

Prose Poetry
Who Is Fooling WhoOnce more
I hear those tales
Uttered with potent persuasion
In the quest for self-preservation
Half-truths and half lies
Lots of lows but yet no highs
I don’t know who to believe
I have my vote to give
Who is gonna receive?...

Who's Fooling WhoSome birdies really...
Can be so unkind
All day pecking
Only gripes and whines
It's not hot enough
So she ups and flies
Down to Miami beach via South Carolina skies
She probably thinks... Oh Lord
I’m a Dodo bird
Maybe it's a secret lover, tell me, have you heard
Whoever...

Are You Fooling Yourself, Poet?Sitting down with
pen and paper in hand
Let the machinery of
your mind and spirit
create a world in which
you(and hopefully others) can
exsist in peace

Fooling the FoolDon't try me, I will see through,
If you cross that line, I will play the fool,
I'll make you believe you've got the upperhand,
I'll do it on purpose to see your true man,
If I think for a second your looking down on me,
I will study you...

Light Verse
Who's Fooling Who?They say I'm pretty
but I don't see it,
they say I'm beautiful
but I don't recognize it,
All I see
is the invisible scars
that no one knows about,
the hunger,
the anger,
the pain,
the tears
that fills my eyes
uncontrollable,
the marks they've
left behind...
Its there
hidden away
not visible to the naked...

Fooling MyselfWoke up this morning and thought you’d finally left my mind
Then I saw you coming through that door
And my blood started shaking again, inside
...
... ...
I’m no better than I was before
If anything, today I’m worse;
In deeper than the day before
Effected more than ever
By this unrequited...

April Fooling AroundApril Fools is on the new horizon
When the next time the sun rises
There will be innocent fibbing and lying
Is it a prank, a joke?
Or just a forum for one to stand up to insult?
It is a whole day dedicated to...

Only Fooling MyselfTo think anything could ever change.
Only a fool to think you were anything but strange deranged.
Lucky NO BLESSED A MAN AM I to have her to turn to.
To forgive my sin and help me get over you.
Be gone ...back to the darkness of your...

Who's Fooling WhoWho's Fooling Who?
Bloody murder, wild sex, torture and slime
Scammers and pushers and heinous crime
It's too much to bear
All the evil out there
Except for cable TV at prime time!

Limerick
The Fooling InterludeIn black hot hue
Let the volcano spew
Everything changes
Every aggression is spent
Every narcissist disappears in himself
Mayhem in the bookshelf
Nothing is immutable
Neither space nor time
Nor sun nor moon
Let alone the focus on
Sovereignty and singularity
A monolithic spree
However omnipotence
It may exude
The presidency itself
Is an interlude
Within a boundary
Of brittle ego
With...

I Am the Master At Fooling YouI let you see who you want me to be.
You give me that look, which tells me I’m doing great.
You are fooled into sharing your deep secrets.
Because I look like that kind of listener.
I am not, but I want you to think I am.
You are...
