Poem: The Principles of Foolishness
This is a manuscript for fools
But don’t let them see it
Don’t hold it in public or give it to your friends
It displays the characteristics of a fool
It is not a syllabus of buffoonery
It is a catalogue of attitudes and attributes of a fool
It is not for sale, not even to the highest bidder
Don’t peruse its pages in the classroom of human knowledge
Put it on the wall of the “not to do” list
Fold it and throw it away
It is not a toy to give to your children
It is not safe to talk about it, not even among friends
These are the principles of foolishness
First, you have to be a fool yourself to understand them
Second, you have to appear not as a fool in front of yourself
Thirdly, find your foolish face and shred it
Then, take a serious face and put on it
Finally, through away all of your humanity
And be empty of all the attributes of a good heart
A truly foolish person is not a joke
Even religious books have condemned him (Judas Iscariot)
Foolishness is not an art, it is a condition of the spirit
It is far more deadly than it appears
It has caused so many atrocities
Many of the human strife is caused by it
Actually, many high profile people are infected by it
It is a strange form of carelessness or selfishness
It is a malevolent behaviour
It is actually a form of wickedness
It is an act of betrayal of the truth
It is a fundamental malformation in the human psyche
That causes a human being to assume the spirit of foolishness
And partake in inhumane acts of foolishness
These are crimes against humanity and God
Beware of the cunning spirit of foolishness
