The Fool
By Kenneth R. Cabrieto
          Fools dream of foolish things,
          Dreams are foolish when they seem unattainable,
          Failure makes you feel foolish,
          But only a true fool,
          Only a true fool has no dreams.

          I don't know where I stand.
          Am I seriously contemplating
          The brand of fool that befits me?

          The untrained eye can read my obscure title.
          I admit that I am a fool
          But I am a fool with a dream.

          I want to ask if it is foolish for me to not chase this dream
          Unfortunately that's a fools question
          Because I already know the answer.

          Foolishness only bears more foolishness
          And the weight has started to cursh me.
