Thee fool

“Build a house…”
The echo said
And ‘believer brought to life few pyramids
Few manors
Leaving the other homeless

“Plant a tree…”
The echo said
And ‘believer designed few private parks, few private gardens
Cutting 120 million trees
Every Christmas

“Father a son”
The echo said
And ‘believer fathered few children
Few he adopted
Ignoring the rest

“Write a book, paint a masterpiece, compose a sonata, sculpture a wonder, do anything, just leave something behind, create a memory of yourself in the other…”
The echo said
And ‘fool did none of that
Understanding

The memory
🖤
