To Be a Fool
For you to feel as you feel right
A gentle flake dare not caress your feature
Less it be scorned by the heat you protrude.
Your clean clear skin appears so pure
So a slight mark tried so hard to elude.
That walk of slick knowledge catches all eyes
As your hair hides your peeping jewels.
A more appealing walk there never is
As you catch all drooling fools.
Avoid our eyes as you walk your dream
To a room central around you.
Where all but you, the lighting is dim
As so that you are central view.
For there we see ourselves the figure of angelic time
Where wings fly you above all
Leaving us beasts lost and blind
As a lonely, drooling fool.
Surface bearing teaches us how to look
But inside teaches us to feel.
A cavern of a monstrous lick
Shows us the one true deal.
Clean and clear appears outside
But grimy goo slides down inner walls.
The crystal features seem to lie
Teaching us truthful fools.
The show has plans we fools know not
Where matter becomes one for all.
Blinded we head into this rut
And from there we begin to fall.
First we turn from loyal brothers
To turn inside of two
Then we release our earned prizes
So all becomes for you.
Yet you sit above all there
Smiling a bashful pose.
For tireless pleas fall on deaf ear
Turning brothers into foes.
Until the desert around him ices
And modest a life he live.
It is then the monster surfaces
And her own present she give.
A lesson in proof of words of old
That looks live to deceive.
The prophecy come true deems not odd
As with no regret she would leave.
So she struts her slick knowledge walk
To the centre of the hall.
For there she slips a seductive look
So I become her latest fool.
