The Fool

Bah!  Sitting around, chatter on!

Think you know what's really wrong?

You think alike damned Euthyphro,

yet there is nothing that you know!

You whisper praise to the Lord,

but know not the meaning of the words!

You live a happy life, i surmise,

so let sadness be your demise,

losing everything you have earned

and letting the rest to dust be burned!

Otherwise, open your eyes and see

what is and what cannot be,

and may you find your mantra

and the meaning of 'Hare Krishna'.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I wrote this not long after writing "You Come Silently".  I was pissed-off at myself and wrote this.  It scared me.
