The Fool Poem by Stefanie Fontker
The Fool
The mighty Sovereign
Demanded that we lean
Forward, on our knees
Palms to the ground
Head bowed deeply
And pledge our allegiance
To the mighty republic
My words may sound sincere
But I was only ever taught
How to lie and tell less
Than the truth,
No more than a fib
For my soul is not owned
Not by me, not by love
And when someone less
Than a person expects it
They have committed
An unforgiveable crime
