May 2020
he is a silly man

in his past life
when he spoke

it happened

but that was a
simpler life

with problems
that could be

fixed by others
just by wishing it so

in this life
problems are much

more complex

and people around him
are not paid by him

do not work for him
may not believe in him

are not controlled by him

in this life just
because he says it

doesn’t make it so
he has to work

for it and

I don’t think the
silly man

likes to work
or knows how
