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!..
