To All the Fools I Know

some people choose to act foolish

it is easy that way

asking questions and finding answers

so hard

the moment it makes you uneasy

you look the other way

i know

life is easy that way

some people do not have it in them

to be brave

to be bold

to be asking questions

to be finding answers

it is OK to be feeling that way

but

do not mistake 

lack of awareness

lack of curiosity

lack of desire to question, to ask, to find, 

to be anything

but 

lazy

it is easy

some people like things easy

they keep themselves busy

with infinite insignificant details

(to avoid staring into the void of 

an empty  vessel of a spirit

haunted by hatred

waiting to leave the body)

like they own the kingdom of lazy

so easy that way

but today,

will you choose easy, busy, lazy 

or do you need answers 

to fill that void

my boldly ignorant, foolish people,

what do you want anyway?
