Foolish

you said something foolish on Facebook,

the other day, really, really foolish

I wanted to post you back this reply

“Don’t you see how saying something this foolish

can negatively impact your credibility

when you say something far more important?”

but I realized that that argument fails:

when you say something far more important

those who think differently on that

as I think differently on this

will see you as being as foolish then

as I see you now

so now the question is not

if one is foolish and the other not

now the question is just

how can we best discern lie from truth

let each discard their own foolishness

to hold close that of utmost import
