  • Once Fool

    Once Fool

    Once Powerful – a poor Fool thence:

    Finality drains, no chance;

    Now naked is what so dense

    Appeared to hide in a glance

     

    Pretensions of Cover proscribed

    By Heights and Authorities dressed:

    Hey, Rags! You’ve been pierced by Light,

    Exposing what Power messed!..

     

    The Wisdom, by Clevers misused –

    A Giant, diminished to Dwarf –

    Recyclingly Ego reduced,

    Transformingly Alter-absorbed

     

    To then “New Potential” claim

    From growing Fears of Fall,

    And crowning dawn by Condemn,

    It fakes Destination of Goal…

     

    Believers, Fake-makers, adore

    To tame what opposes Fame:

    Rich Poverty, worshipping Whore,

    For Foolishness Triumph proclaims.

     

    And once, what’s fulfilled and achieved,

    Becomes just a broken Tool:

    And here, - look! – is coming Mischief,

    To finally prove, who’s a Fool!..
