Am I A Fool?

I don't understand a few things,

Am I a Fool?

You can easily fight with strangers,

But to love them is really hard,

I don't understand this,

Am I a fool?

We are very polite with unknowns,

But impolite with whom we live,

I don't understand this,

Am I a fool?

We are ready to help the haves,

But dither in helping the have-nots

I don't understand this,

Am I a fool?

No religion teaches us to hate,

But religious ones now pander hatred,

I don't understand this,

Am I a fool?

Men and Women were created to celebrate 365 days together,

Then why is it necessary to set aside a Women's Day for celebration,

I don't understand this,

Am I a fool?

I said, "See, I am building a Paradise

Love, Charity, Concern, Care, Help

Will reverberate in its valley,

Come, See I am building a Paradise".

They laughed and said,

"Name it as The Fool's Paradise".

I want to be Nice,

They tell me Be Smart,

I want to be Good

They tell me Be Better

To be Humble

Is considered to be Weak,

To be Friendly

Is considered to be Impractical

To be Helpful

Is considered to be Ancient

I don't understand these few things,

Am I a fool?

But, I have decided to live in my Fool's Paradise,

Hoping for a day when the whole world becomes,

WEAK,

IMPRACTICAL,

ANCIENT, and

FOOLISH,

Which I Am Today.
