Fools and Foolishness
You cannot separate fools from
their foolishness -  there is no way!
That's the way that they are and
that's how they will stay!

You can try and change their
habits if you want to.
But it will not make any difference;
they will still be foolish- and so will you!

You are wasting your time when you try
to separate a fool from his way - don't even try!
If you do as I wrote, you will not succeed and
the fool is the reason why.

The Lord desires all of us to live a
peaceful life, but fools cannot.
They hurt and bother others, everything
about God they have forgot.

So, do the best you can and do what
you can to help all others.
But when it comes to fools and their ways -
they are not at all good sisters and brothers.
