Foolish Gave It Poison


The Foolish gave it Poison

Through ingestion- through injection

And by its calculation

Victim should suffer total infection

 

However Victim had tapped into a Wisdom

That allowed it to change Poison into Antidote

And to Foolish's chagrin

Began to heal and grow

 

And Victim's name

Changed to Victor

And it also became

A courageous uplifter

 

Teaching Foolish to do the same

Victor sparked Foolish's change

And so the Poison that should have been Victor's demise

Became the Antidote that made Foolish Wise
