Fools
Story of life goes untold
mystery of peace is foreign
kindness and love has spoiled
and being carefree was disposed
Where have the listening ears gone to
why is peace so fake
how can kindness and love spiral to hate
and what was done to the carefree
We are foolish
the listeners have never left
they hear your every plea
but if they are the only ones with ears left
who is to hear their plea
We are foolish
peace was brought through death
a necessary price they say
but who has mourned for them
those who died to keep us safe
We are foolish
kindness brings guilt
and love brings mourning
kindness is shunned
and love strikes mercy
We are foolish
who can ever be carefree
in a world of expectation
where listeners don’t listen
peace is never true
and kindness and love
is a thing like a dagger
to destroy the very soul
We are closed minded
So very foolish indeed
