failed.

i am a fool.
but i'm not any ordinary fool.
i am a fool of the highest order,
a fool of the highest degree.

some men are fools because they simply know no better
these men are to be pitied not scorned

others are fools because they forget that they know better
these men are to be slapped across the face till they remember

even others are fools because life dealt them a bad hand once
and choose to live in self pity for the rest of their sad existences
these men should be thrown onto a cruel island for a year

but fools of the highest degree..
the idiotus maximus..

these men know better, oh, much better
yet they have cut down other fools for not knowing better.
these men have lashed out at others for misdeeds which they adorn themselves with,
they have been given everything, and have returned nothing.
these men live in palaces of diamond crusted ego,
they have seen fire turn to gold, but have not believed.

what do they deserve ?
they do not deserve to love or to be loved,
and yet loves flows and froths in such an abundance
in the hope that it would drown out their foolishness.
