Fools
by A. Keith Barton → (All Poetry by A. Keith Barton)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Fools know no bounds
Always remain the clown
Seek to justify
What pleases and gratifies
Impotent petulant jerks
Avoid any desire to work

Discourteous malcontents
Money typically spent
On frivolous toys that define
Ego-enhanced swines
Who live life to keep score
And constantly ask for more

Fools deceive themselves
Because wisdom never dwells
In those who deserve the best
And hold themselves above the rest
Even fools get their due
And end up getting screwed

You know who you are
Ingrates near and far
Time catches up with those
Before their final repose
Reap your last reward
Before your Savior and Lord
