Don't Mistake Me For A Fool Poem by Alem Hailu Gabre Kristos

When you find me by choice cool
Mistake me not for a fool.

If there is a need for being cruel
I could over your eyes pull the wool
With out- heroding- herod's tool.

Unless imbeciles like you
Get a first hand knowledge
What is meant by
A gal-hearted revenge
Or inflicted damage
As goes the adage
'A ball in a China shop! '
They gloat creating
Many a wreckage,
Harbouring a grudge
They could never come to
The same page!
