Fools Gold

Fools Gold

Written by Fatal Dawn





The fool aims to preserve his life and loses it in the process –

Wastes opportunities and never looks back to see what he tosses…



What is Fool’s Gold?



Thee who have slain in the name of eternal gain –

Ye of little shame,

Know that you have slain in vain.



Tell a fool, not to worry about tomorrow's transgressions.

The sun will never rise after today’s aggressions –



Even though you win the prize.

Even though you triumph in the fight.



The gold is of miniscule size,

And happiness won’t be in sight….









A fool takes a chance and meets with Opportunity every season.

Looks Opportunity in the face, but doesn’t register what he’s seeing.

Opportunity comes often to fools, but it’s fleeting.



Therefore Fools Gold is shiny – attracting fools of all class;

Seeming vibrant above all else - fools can’t let it pass.



Often it’s the things

That are most vibrant which prove to be the most violent.



Often it’s the things

That are most vivid which prove to be the most insipid.



Even the animals recognize the colorful dangers as venomous and wicked.







Therefore Fools Gold is divine –

Fools can only imagine of what is not of this planet.

They want a touch of glory and can’t stand it – in fact they demand it!



Fools believe gold and coin are the rarest riches,

They fail to recognize that money and jewels are always within inches...



To recognize a triumph of the beauty of human nature is true glory,

It can’t be bought or sold and sometimes it can last a lifetime.

The opportunity is always there – there’s always a right time.



Day or night – it won’t disappear.

Human nature provides a treasure oh so rare.



If we as humans cannot recognize so,

Ask the divine.

We’re the fools, they say, if we can’t make use of our time.







Searching for Fools Gold is easy…



But finding the answer to human nature –

That is like trying to find a grain of rice among sands.

Like trying to hold the ocean in the palm of your hands.



Searching for human treasure is indeed difficult to unopened eyes.

For opened eyes it’s as easy as holding someone’s hand.







The fool aims to preserve his life and loses it in the process –

Wastes opportunities and never looks back to see what he tosses.



A fool takes a chance and meets with Opportunity every season.

Looks Opportunity in the face, but doesn’t register what he’s seeing.

Opportunity comes often to fools, but it’s fleeting…
