WHAT WE FOOLS SEE WHILE SAT ON THE HILL OF FOOLS

I sit with my fellow fools
We play our hands of cards
Some times looking down across
The way

We see those wearing black , some
Wearing brown
Gathering below
Flags waving in the coming storm
Of inhuman made hell

Some with slogans , others with
Art work emblazoned banners
Red , white and true blue

Ethnology better be of the right one
Or else

We fools look over yonder and listen
Hear work sets you free

See camps holiday camps we fools
know not so
Us fools playing cards a game of solo ,
While sat on our hill of fools

We warned you so we did

Now if it all the same to you we have a game of cards to play

Might just as well play cards. The mobilized fools have long since gained critical mass and their momentum is such that our course is set to within minutes of a degree.
Good writing Ken.
Thanks,
Nick

You do us great favors at times Ken.. the loveliness of non participation of folly and the bemused and laid back aptitude to get back to our game of cards while the terrorists look for other people's terror, not their own, is both bemusing and chilling..
a whacking good read..!

There is something else, it has been nagging me all day . . . something about Donkey Soldiers comes to mind. Arrogance.

I like this. It reminds me of that old song:

There was a Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up a hill
And marched them down again
