A Fool's Commentary

I found a trinket of gold lying bent on the street
I saw a young man gambling with nothing to eat
I heard a mother singing to her angry child
I stopped to witness it all for a while

I watched two woman sip coffee in a second hand store
I saw executives mopping a blood covered floor
I bent to notice a crack in the sidewalk below
I heard a preacher and decided it was time to go

I am the fool inhaling the pulse of the scene
Wise and wicked and stupid or so it would seem
I don't try to understand the players I see
Smug as I step from my perch knowing that I am free
