King’s Fool

(Sonnet to Dauntless Poets)

Parts of King’s court are ye
Jesters with three point hats
Provoking elites unabashedly
Thus stabilizing our autocrats

No one dare speak truth openly
Save the seemingly crazy Fool
Lest they be dealt with brutally
May also suffer Kingly ridicule

I too, am but a reckless fool
A scale trying to bring balance
A most unusual, yet useful tool
Much too some folks annoyance

Thanks for tolerating my poetic antics
I’m just trying to define life’s semantics
