A Rhyme for Fools

Oh! If ye do know me
please
tell me
who I am.

I saw
the pieces of me
swallowed
like pebbles
in quick-sand.

I dare not
go in after them.
I know not
what the cost.

It is far easier
if you
can tell me
who I lost.

I'll trust
your eyes,
to let
me see.

Gone
is my integrity.

Self-reflection
is for fools
who think they
know best.

But not
me.
Your money
can buy my
intelligence.
