“If talk is cheap, then being silent is expensive. And many people it seems, can't afford to buy into it.”
― Anthony Liccione

“A Fool

Stands at an akimbo,
Head swollen disproportionately.
Loquacious.
Boastful.
But he is an empty barrel
That talks an infinite deal of nonsense.
He is a fool.

He is naked;
But he discerns it not.
He is shallow -
Lacking depth and sound judgment.
But he thinks he is full, complete.
He is a fool.

Wisdom makes a defining shout,
But he hearkens not.
Correction drums violently into his ears,
But all he hears is an applause
From an orchestra of his sycophants.
He is a fool.

He casts contemptuous glances at discretion.
He sees with one eye,
Tainted by arrogance.
His only hearing ear
Is fitted with impervious filter of pride.
He is a fool.”
