fools are tools for the wicked wise


everyone scrambles for their place

among the rowers who on the galleon of state


deliver these ersatz kings of the world

to some wild unrecognizable shore


where they cannot control the response

where they will find their place among the stones


the fools steer the soon-to-be wreck

tools to some larger justice


leveling whole worlds where

the wise repent of their misuse of wisdom


and the fools tool with their loot...the remains of emperor dross....
