Foolish

On the road of life

Were foolish men

Each walked a foolish path

At the end of their roads

They came to find

Devastation was their aftermath.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

"Professing to be wise they became fools." Romans 1:22

Only the wise realize they are ignorant, trying to understand what they can never get their tiny mortal minds around. But fools will profess wisdom; puffed up by vanity and education or delusions of esoteric insight. The more we learn, the less we know; the more we know, the less we can learn. But devastation is an awful price to pay for the ignorance of the wise. I think that was the "leavening" of the Scribes and Pharisees; the yeast that swelled the heads in the making; the bellies in the baking and allowed itself the satisfaction of the status quo. Thanks for the thought invoking poetry.

there is no excuse for foolishness....although daring might be mistaken for foolishness.
taking risks can find new paths...
but they ask themselves, "is the devastation worth it?"
I like these short pieces....there is much in between the lines to savor.
