A Fool
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)

Wearing a crown of discontent

When things do not go his way.

A simple child in behavior,

Not befitting a grown man.

 

Soon such antics will be mocked,

And laughter will be heard.

A fool deserves such derision,

Until he begins to act like a man.

Harkins me back to Eddie Fisher singing… "And the fool on the hill sees the world spinning around…" The Beatles.

Well, I don't think anyone would change. I have learned to accept that not everyone would live up to my standard of expectation because it's their lives, and they can live it the way they like to live it. As soon as I let go of that feeling that others should change themselves for me, I feel a whole lot better in accepting them just the way they are. _ This is just my opinion.
