Regret comes from speaking"

It's not trying to talk....

Foolishness
There was a man from Nilkhet,
He used to put his money into his pocket.
While he was working at his store,
He heard someone nocked on his door,
He didn't know how did he pick pocket!...

Trump Seems So Opinionated

Just how long will we have waited?
Trump seems so opinionated
For his foolishness we fell
And all of his hard sell
Devil and him must be related.

War City
Reddish city forced
city conquered, suffered...
concussed freedom
lost self life,
enslaved by foolishness
of absurd men..

Irresponsibly jolly
Afternoon of folly
Amusement found
Festivities abound
Lightheaded foolishness
Bouts of happiness
Joyous merriment

Dark Minds
As time passes, the world's condition 
continues to worsen because 
of the wicked acts done by 
many people on earth. 
Full of stubbornness 
and foolishness, 
All they think 
are vain 
things....

Life does not grant such foolishness 
Black and white, there are seldom grey areas 
The palette is limited in its capabilities 
Folklore painted the world a beautiful lie...

Humankind Are Babies
Humankind are babies
lying naked on earth mat
playing with blind dolls
fighting  blowing winds
enjoying imaginary things
boxing angrily cruel waves
laughing at their foolishness
in lifelong times on earth...
