Two Silly Fools (at the coffee shop)


The shop was full
Only one seat to spare
Excuse me sirs, can I have a chair?
Why yes they said, smiles filled the air

They happened to be poets the same as me
Politely I asked, may I read a verse of thee?
They...

Premium Member Where Fools Rush In
This is where I come to cry....
I hold my breath, my mouth is dry
with dreadful words too hard to tell

This is where I come to kneel
The grave where flesh and stone and steel
lie fused as one
A shrine to mourn and shed our tears
and pray for...

Premium Member Chain of Fools
“ I Never Loved A Man” as much as I loved you.
My darling you continued to give me ” Respect” as well.
“Baby I Love You” so, I'm so glad we said I do.
In the past I dated “ A Chain  Of Fools” until we...

Premium Member What Fools
"You shall know the Truth, and the Truth
Shall make you free."


We wait for what will never happen;
the consequences of inaction
may overtake at any moment.
Vaguely felt suspicions foment,
feed uneasiness; words half-formed
hang in air, hover just out of reach,
didactic, but never really heard --
misunderstood, despised, ignored,
or ridiculed...One...

Sins of the Fools 

Whichever God their dice shall chose
judgment rendered all the same
guilty of crimes against humanity
its a sin and not a game

No one is chosen 
all life is precious
against warlords, uneducated and the cruel
man developed the vaccine
saved the child, the family, even the...

Two Fools
Shallow ground forgot to wept
all the words that thrown were kept
and if I were you today
I think that you had more to say
and if you were for me that night
then why all the burden to begin that fight
I shall not keep these simple rules
If you...

Premium Member Only Fools Think So
Pray for us sinners,
for indeed sinners we are.
In love with our immorality,
wallowing in our faults,
repeating our transgressions.
 
The world applauds us 
in complete agreement
with our fetid fallacies.
We are important only if
we indulge in our heinous,
scandalous and contemptible
affairs of the world.
 
There's time enough to right
any...

God Does Not Laugh At the Blunder of Fools
Frowning, I read the words of a sanctimonious poem.
one t'would be praised and lauded by sinful, Jeroboam.
Its lines were written by one who is ignorant and daft
to think at mankind's flaws, almighty God would laugh.

Scorn Satan if insisting on talking about liars and fools.
Their weaknesses...

Suffer Fools Madly
With a sleep-living shuffle, they plod along
Apathetic senses, that don't notice it's wrong
Automatic living, with the brain turned off
My ideals of freedom, their conditioned to scoff!
The sheople who live, in societies herd
Who think flying freely only applies to a bird
Corrupted, sealed minds that believe every...

Ship of Fools
   If you strip away our skin,
We are the same.
   Where we differ is thoughts
In the brain. 

   If we are not cremated,
We are six feet down.
   We all end up as a pile of
Bones in the...

Premium Member Guy Advice In a Fools Paradise Collaboration
In regards, to the birds and the bees
Depends on who’s watching, what he sees
There are some women, impossible to please
Wise men are wary, to be with one of these

See beneath all that glitter, her cool choreographed style
Sexy and sultry, wrapped in a sweet smile
She’s most...

The Drink of Fools
Darkness
Drowning in that lie
That liquid that betrays
Color of the amber sun
Whispered to be the Gods drink

Too potent for mortal blood
Consumed by Spartan Violence
Shattering glass
Wallowing in misery
Darkness

Control was never grasped
Only an illusion of the polluted mind
No oracle would praise 
or promise drink
Until the end of the...

Religion
It is not my intent to Laypeople offend, 

When I refer to religion contrived by greedy men. 

Not all, some individuals always ready, 

To take time out to help the needy, unsteady. 

No, the religious institution itself, 

the world's richest contrived wealth, 

and still its...

Elites Who Are Not Elite
We see them sitting in towers
carved from ‘learned’ ivory,
insulated by their tenure
from the world of reality,
poisoning their students minds,
putting bad ideas in their heads,
the kind that in a century
left one hundred million souls dead.
They know they face no consequence,
they even blacklist all others,
it’s the students...
