A wise man sat with head in hands
‘Its all too much’ he thought
the failings of our ailing race
were etched upon his worried face
‘ we live within a shamed disgrace
and fear not getting caught’
A fool sat on his gilded throne
no fear of getting caught
another dollar in his bank
another missile for his tank
another day where dreams are sank
‘Its not enough’ he thought
The wise man and the fool agree
this cant go on much longer
our ailing race has found a taste
for things we cant afford to waste
we live within a common place
where things are getting wronger.
The fool sees not what the wise mans sees
his head within his hands
The wise man sees what the fool cannot
and tomorrow understands.
