I AM THE FOOL AND THE FAILURE <br /> <br />I am the fool and the failure <br />Who writes little poems <br />No one reads. <br />And is happy deluding himself <br />That his little lines <br />Are true poetry. <br /> <br />I should have been a better husband and father and son and brother- <br />And not just an old man, <br />Listening to the words which come inside himself <br />And bring him peace, however sad.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-am-the-fool-and-the-failure/
