The Fool And The Brave One
What do the fool
and the brave one
have in common?
Both stick their neck out
and risk danger displeasure.
The brave often do foolishly
pursue perceived noble cause
“in the face of all odds uncounted”
Counting might cause
brave heart to lose heart.
But the cunning insightful fool
like in a famous Shakespearean play
is a lightening rod a touchstone of truth
when all others lie or hide the fool
is he the only one sure to tell the truth?
hiding in supposed stupidity
like immunity a cloak of invisibility
I stick my neck out
at risk of beheading
discussions most necessary
polarize people
fits of anger rage brutality may
follow an unwary
gentle sincere soul in all honesty
we can and will agree to disagree
my style may inflame
in the shadows
it is safer to remain
