Back in bygone days- one might have been amazed
by all the tricks and trappings of the fool
now that we are here- royalty is rarely near
and what has cycled in is to be cool
not-with-standing out- crystal clear- no doubt
it’s once-upon-a-timelessness that is the rule
creativity is source- just call upon the force
and the way will open for the joker’s tool
it’s illumination time- enlightenment is prime
androgyny has leapt beyond the duel
suffering must cease- we must source inner peace
self-inflicted suffering is so cruel
recognizing need- this call that we must heed
we’ll lighten up this space and share renewal
we’ll cleanse and purify- know we can not die
no longer need we be the april fool
regardless of the age- we’ll turn another page
knowledge knows no limit- this is school
on a mystic plane- magic has free reign
we’ll immerse ourselves within the whirlpool
with gestures such as these- movement meant to please
we’ll humor those around the flashing jewel
polished- and yet crass- tasteful- but still trash
the universal child has found the fuel
so those called golden days- remembered- yet rephrased
are here again- if only you’ll
ask just to know that all-that-is- is whole
balanced in the twenty first century fool

We are smarter fools, have inserted more self determination in our life choices. Have we?
Have we? Some have. All? No.
But the fool was the only person who could tell the emperor the truth without getting killed.
The Fool Archetype is evolutionary… as he/she trusts in the Universe.
