Wise Fools Poem by Okim Otu

Wise Fools

Rating: 5.0


You are homosapien,
but wisdom is your foe
You easily send men to moon,
yet can't check a brother next door
You are a peace maker,
your home is doom in chaos
You care so much about me
and let me alone to die
Caress me, soothe my head
and accept the quarrel
You are homosapien,
but wisdom is your foe.


You are homosapien
but wisdom is your foe
Fool teaches in your schools
knowledge waste in your streets
Your light shine so bright
and lead you to darkness
You surround yourself with comfort
and goes to bed in grief
Spent billions on enless wars
and children sleeps in hunger
We are homosapien
But wisdom is our foe.
