Fool-proof ... satire
Proverbs 19:3
3 The foolishness of a man twists his way,
And his heart frets against the Lord.
Fool-proof
Why is it that in forms of existing
death acts like “Life” abound?
It fools almost every-body
for existing survives every round.
It dresses it itself with comfort
and with things folks love to have.
It thrives on the basic desires,
the wants and the wishes of man.
If you want to remove this existence.
You better make sure of one thing,
that nothing will change without battle.
A battle that rages within.
A battle where death battles dead ones.
In a land where deception is king.
Where loosing appears like winning
and the future is where you have been.
And when you get tired and weary
death with a "lively" smile
will offer you a bed of comfort
so you can rest for a while.
Then it will feed you misconception
and for dessert some negligence
covered with berries and whip-cream,
so sweet it will melt on your tongue.
It will guide you to accountability
and all the things that you deserve.
And softly winks about responsibility,
but that only to yourself, what a nerve.
Then you know … that you won the battle
and existing is out of your path.
For misconception dressed as purpose
showed you clearly that you will last.
Jan Wienen
