Fool-proof ... satire


Proverbs 19:3 

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.
