Fools

01/04/2021 - Poem a Day Compilation



What fools before me

That cannot see

Beyond the end

Of their own bank account

To a world of wonder

That passes them by

In pursuit of more

Of what they already have

When what is out there

Is far more enriching

Than the accumulation of things

That are no more permanent

Than the memories formed

In the experiencing of moments

The joy of the discovery

The power of the unknown

But they would deprive

Themselves and their own

Of something money can’t buy

All for the desire

Of fool’s gold
