    Fools

     Fools laugh at mistakes
    and then make some more...
    they laugh at misfortune like
    poverty or war...
    They laugh at polution
    of land seas and skies.
    They continued to laugh as all
    wildlife dies.
    They laugh at those starving
    for food and for love,
    They laugh at the thought of peace,
    The white dove.
    They are fools we all say
    For how can they laugh
    in such a cruel way?
    When all the world is gone
    from the mistakes that we've made,
    Will the fools still laugh
    As they dig their own graves?

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
