A Fool's Errand

fools live on the edge of reality

having no thoughts for themselves
believing without questioning
following without understanding
spouting without thinking
wondering why other see them at all
in states of confusion smoldering
like a campfire after the meal was
too burned to easily consume;
we trespass on our own trespasses
not realizing our own thoughts
as we spoke them in partial phrases
not remembering their scope or
that one time we were indifferent
to the proposals being proposed;
we stand aloof because we know
no other way to stand, and believe
because we know no other way
we should be believing the gospel,
seeing not its discrepancies but
only its truths as were conveyed.
