The Wise Fool

Buried deep above the surface of the earth

Lies within the Heart of a Man

The key to starvation

But about the wrong places

On the surface of the earth dig man

In his endless toll from starvation

 

In the midst of the indebted Heart,

He  wonders the brown of the earth

In a state of distress

Leading to an alteration

Of his mood from natural harbour

To an illusive vexation of mind and body

In desperate despair

 

The Heart without the care of indebtedness

But for deceit seeks him

With A soul of mercy and kindness

Offers  an illusive hand of help

With the illusion of a soft spot

Show of care and pity

 

Man is ultimately pushed further down

The drain of self extinction

Standing on the gallows

His sense blinded by the ropes of hunger

His mind captured by the show of pity

 

The Heart convinced of Man’s blinded sight

Leaps at it’s own ingenuity

In resolving Man’s curiosity upon

It’s callous securities

 

With the key of starvation

Locked in it’s bottomless bosom

The Heart gathers the gold of the world

While Man eats the dirt of the earth

 

It hides it’s security behind pity

And show of mercy and pain

In light of Man’s plight

It bleeds with reptile tears

And sheds skin at the lamination

Of Man’s savage state of living

 

Securities is leached from Man by the Heart

While it provides the illusion of helping

To make more out of live

 

The Heart gives the impression of

Teaching Man to swim when literally

It is its’ pulling force drowning man

 

But the amazing fact about this whole scam

Lies not in the deceit of the scammer

But in the stupidity of the scammed

Nor does it lie in the cunning wisdom of the trick stare

But is the foolish intelligence of the tricked

 

To be easily led and repeatedly believe the ever

So beautiful but familiar ugly juice

Of the Hearts perfect intentions

 

Man’s repeated willingness in mortal wisdom

To continually vote in the Heart’s perfect agenda

Falling grudgingly for the reptilian tears

Believing and taking the fairy-tale hand

Of the Heart without considering the facts

Consciously in an hypnotized state

Paving the way for the heart’s

Mission of self restoration upon Man’s extinction.
