A Sigh For The Fools Poem by Ruth L. Rivers

A Sigh For The Fools



You, You give me the need to speak
To reiterate the long dead cry
Of those who have no song
But whose lyrics keep living on

You, You make me sit the straighter
To hear lost wisdom’s insights
Of those who died for more
Than to gain the wealth of the poor

You, You beckon troubled tears
To see you jest in crude disrespect
Of those who searched for truth
And lived more wisely after their youth

You, You place the pen to my hand
To portray your base character
Of those foolish infant minds
Who deny value in the reflection of time
