Fools...Rush In Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Fools...
Rush in.
Demanding attention given.
Fools...
Rush in!

Fools...
Rush in.
Demanding attention given.
Fools...
Rush in!

Nothing that God has created,
Stays to remain...
Without going through,
A growth process.
And from one step to the next,
Lessons to learn...
Requires tests to pass.
Some may take longer.
None are left kept suspected,
To repeat forever.
For one task to grasp.

Obstacles and challenges,
Come to offer few...
Signs to follow,
To escape through exits.

And many who may claim,
Others have it easy...
Seem often to be the ones,
Making false allegations...
To place blame on someone,
For their failures to create.

With this done to perceive,
Their accusations made...
Should be believed.
Like...
A having a lack of initiative.
Discipline.
Or efforts endeavored.
With a desire to achieve.
Is not their responsibility.
If motivation,
To them had not been sent.
As an invitation requesting,
An R.S.V.P. when time permits.

'I have listened to your words.
And heard your complaints.
Tell me...
From your point of view,
What does it take...
To make one successful? '

-Being real and down to Earth.
And not trying to be,
Better than others.
Without attention,
Upon themselves to get.-

'Oh?
But...
What about clowns?
Wanting to be the favorite,
Of other fools and clowns.
Already enough,
Of them found around.'

-That's different.-

'Different?
How?
What is the difference? '

-Clowns?
They are naturally born fools.
And know it.
Although...
Some clowns,
Will have people think...
They are stupid.
However...
Fools?
Are made into clowns.
Not to know they are stupid.
And used! -

Fools...
Rush in.
Demanding attention given.
And get it to prove,
Their stupidity!

'Okay!
And...
Who is that over there,
Singing about fools? '

-That's the fool maker.
Proving,
To have acquired the ability...
To make fools.
As a choice to choose.
And...
Apparently,
Quite successful at it too! -

Fools...
Rush in.
Where angels fear to tread!
