A FOOLISH FOOL

Amon

Foolish is a man who complements not the forces behind creation

He knows not the source of life

Yet is everywhere reckless in his ignorance

Just living like in his wisdom

 

Fool is a man rich without love

His heart too rocky to feel for others

He has hands too short to stretch towards the needy

Subscribing his joy with tears of the hungry

 

Foolish is a man who lustfully follows his neighbour's wife

Prowling in darkness to steal of his fellow's

Selfishly staring at his brother's successes with a jealousy-flaming eye 

Never caring he is prone to murder and suicide if his is taken away

 

Foolish is woman who throws away the infant and gives her back

She dances to the cries of a desperate baby 

"I want to be free" she says so

Fool! what is freedom if it bears no love?

 

Fool, how many days are left of your life?

Who controls the flow of time if you know?

Why are some barren when others bear children?

Fool is you, when you do not fear for what you do not know.
