“A Fool Stands at an akimbo, Head swollen disproportionately. Loquacious. Boastful. But he is an empty barrel That talks an infinite deal of nonsense. He is a fool. He is naked; But he discerns it not. He is shallow - Lacking depth and sound judgment. But he thinks he is full, complete. He is a fool. Wisdom makes a defining shout, But he hearkens not. Correction drums violently into his ears, But all he hears is an applause From an orchestra of his sycophants. He is a fool. He casts contemptuous glances at discretion. He sees with one eye, Tainted by arrogance. His only hearing ear Is fitted with impervious filter of pride. He is a fool.” — Abiodun Fijabi
A Fool
Stands at an akimbo,
Head swollen disproportionately.
Loquacious.
Boastful.
But he is an empty barrel
That talks an infinite deal of nonsense.
He is a fool.
He is naked;
But he discerns it not.
He is shallow -
Lacking depth and sound judgment.
But he thinks he is full, complete.
He is a fool.
Wisdom makes a defining shout,
But he hearkens not.
Correction drums violently into his ears,
But all he hears is an applause
From an orchestra of his sycophants.
He is a fool.
He casts contemptuous glances at discretion.
He sees with one eye,
Tainted by arrogance.
His only hearing ear
Is fitted with impervious filter of pride.
He is a fool.
