Won't Get Fooled Again
We can be fooled
To favor
The
Fruitful
Or
Squander
The
Faithful.
Life goes
In a direction
That seems
To genuinely
Be
Changing
To the tune
Of some
Unheard
Tundra.
The sea levels
Will rise
Until
You cannot
See
On
A
Level
Playing
Field.
A fool’s
Landing
When
Recovering
From the fall
Is hardly
What I’d
Call
A
Trip
To the
Mall.
When fools
Fall,
It isn’t
A
Festive
Occasion,
Nor is
It
A
Surprise
Celebration.
No one learns
From the demise
Of a fool,
Not even
The fooled,
Foolish
Folly-filled
Figure
That takes
The
Form
Of a
Figurine.
What I’m really
Trying
To
Say
Is,
We can be fooled
Once,
Shame
On us,
But being fooled
Time after time
Is quite
A
Reductive
Feeling.
After all,
You read this,
And maybe it made
Sense
To
You,
But it certainly
Didn’t
Knock
Any
Sense
Into
Me.
The mantra goes:
Won’t get
Fooled
Again.
