The Folly of the Old Man

the folly of the old man
stick in the mud n blind

the folly of those who believe his words
When he speaketh the worth of his second and the condemnation of his first

the folly of his first
for hopes n hopes dashed
for heart n piety trashed

the folly of the old man
folliest of follies
fool of fools
how quickly we forget.

double double toil n trouble
fire burn n cauldron bubble

anger fester
hate savage
bitter courage
disgusted rage
charred respect
lipsynced curses
burning vision
only one mind
mine.
