heart of folly

heart of folly

heart of folly
-- indefatigable

lives at center --
cleverly spreading web-like

filaments throughout
creation's maze

aloof to tears and pain
-- multitudes' woe

folly's own making

-- dogs eat dogs
in downtown firmaments

where

junkies catch -- fixes --
profound and ponderous madness

-- evangelists haul in fortunes
eclipsing insatiable despair!

from fools who
give --

-- faith can't be
bought

and hope is
child of the ego

but there is light
midst it all

causing a shadow to be
cast

from folly's own
heart

that may someday succumb
to its brilliance

-- until then

tightly coiled folly
uncoils its black-hearted wrath

on anyone
-- everyone

in its path.
