Fools

Their ideas, their thoughts

Slipping off their tongues

Into the open.

So silly, so foolish,

So stupid.

Yet I am expected

To hold my tongue.

To suffer silently,

Waiting for someone to

Point out the flaws.

And for what?

So that I remain in

Good light?

Under the radar,

Out of sight?

Waiting, watching

For another to step forward.

But what if they never do?

What if the stupidity

Remains in the open

Unopposed, sizzling, raw

Before my eyes.

But there’s nothing I will do

To counter.

And the others,

They just agree.

What fools they are.

The stupidity continues on

Tauntingly before my eyes.

And I can do nothing

But comply.
