The Wise Fool

The Wise Fool

Sits High

In Station

Stature

He Rests

His Head

And Contemplates

Deep And Long

Suddenly

Spotlight

Shines

On His Grey Hair

And Wrinkled Face

It Is Almost

Time It Seems

For Him To Go

Despite

His Power And Glory

His Story

And Legacy

Would Be Told

For Generations

To Come

History

Would Draw

Lessons From 

His Acts

In Right Or Wrong

Would His Name

Be Fragrant Fame

Or Stinking Shit

All Would Know

In Fair Judgement

Based On 
Truth,Justice And Right

So The Higher

The Office And Honour

The Greater 

The Public Trust And Splendour

The Heavier

The Duty And Dignity

The Weightier

The Responsibility and Obligation

And

The More Far-reaching

And Important

The Impact

Of

One's Acts And Works

The Wise Fool

Is Sane Enough

To Know

Age Is Catching Up

And

Time Is Running Out

For Him

To Do Good 

And

Right
