Epilogue to a fool’s tome: A poem 

The fool is waiting 

in subliminal pastures, everyday 

like the unexpectant cattle grazing 

in his own restrainedly amazing way  

And he knows that if it is an illusion, 

there is always a contradiction and a confusion 

Can those promised measures of treasures 

be just a tool of perseverance for a fool? 

There can be surmise of paradise 

They may only be timelines of ides in disguise 

And if he believes he has a worthy cause, 

he takes it despite his own loss 

His blade may have bled alone 

His effort may have only found stone 

When he loses the battle, 

he actually proves his own mettle
