Wisdom Burdens Fools


 A wise man’s weight, a heavy haul, 

Deep thoughts dance in a daunting fall. 

Foolish fun, free from the fray, 

Joyful jesters jive and play.


Sage sees shadows, subtle sighs, 

Contemplation clouds the skies. 

Folly finds a field of flowers, 

Leaps in light, laughs for hours.


Burdens borne by the keen of mind, 

Complex truths, conflicts entwined. 

Bliss blooms in the simple soul, 

Carefree, wild, and whole.

Ticket trick tails unveil

Entitled Power


 In lands of promise, leaders rise, 
Their names in bold, beneath the skies. 
A fervent claim, a power's thrust, 
Yet wisdom's spark begins to rust.
Against the native lands they pressed, 
A trail of tears, a nation's test. 
With walls of stone, division brewed, 
The power wielded, hopes subdued.
In halls of trust, the loyal thrive, 
Their posts assured, as spoils arrive. 
Yet merit's call, a whisper faint, 
For power reigns, with no constraint.
The banks of gold, they battled fierce, 
To shift the tides, their foes to pierce. 
Economies reshaped, the storms they sown, 
In power's grip, their seeds were blown.
From Jackson's time to futures cast, 
The echoes of their shadows last. 
A title's might, the fleeting hour, 
For wisdom falters, lost in power.

Ghosts adaptation tightens fire
