Fools

The learned fools:
They dance together
Born of insecurity
Masked in their pomposity
A game of make-believe.

A song that states
"Oh I am greater!"
Sounds so very prettily.
Mocking jests made wittily
Trip easy off the tongue.

The learned fools
Restrain from wisdom.
It would rob them of their prize.
Prejudice and snobbery
To hide the doubt inside.

The motley crew
Comfort each other,
Seek forever to forget
That they are, will always be,
No greater or lesser,
No worse and no better,
And fools for all to see.
