Confessions of a Fool

You had me doped. Had me wrapped around your fat white fingers. Drooling over you like a sad puppy in love. And like the loyal hound I defended you. I stood up for you when the town called you names, the devil in disguise. I stood up for you when they pointed at your child and shook their heads and predict her foul fate. I! It was me who prayed for your salvation. It was me who put you on a pedestal, it was me who looked up to you like a role model. But aye a pity. You didn’t even blink before you sold my soul to the devil.

You had me fooled… aye you did. I was fooled by the scarf on your head, your eloquence, by you piety and by your passion. But now I know. You are nothing but a wolf in sheep’s garb just waiting for innocents to stray far before you ponce and make a deal. I never saw it coming. Even when you lifted the danger of deceit and stabbed me in the heart. I only saw the angle I always labeled you to be.

I am ashamed. I am ashamed that I let you FOOL me.
