Rather Be A Fool


Don’t teach me the lessons
I don’t need to know,
the ones that require
so much pain.

I’d rather remain
an innocent fool,
angelic in outlook,
and out of touch with the world.

Peace of mind comes so easy
when your head’s full of fluff.
Wisdom can be a burden.
Knowledge can be too much.

Ever a child,
it would be better to roam,
capable of smiles,
filled with love
down to your bones.
