Idiot

Only truly an idiot hopes,
in times of dark despair,
when the light promises
to only fade
when the tunnel ends

Some imbecile
turns on the radio,
and thinks there is hope
for moments in time
painted a sombre shade.

Only a dimwit
will look up to the sky
and say what he prays.

Truly a crazy idiot
will choose to love,
when all that surrounds
the idiot is apathy and hate,
and loveless cynics.

The smarts die
when their wits
rob them of their joy.

Some elect, who remain
Truly one of the Smarts
They turn into idiots,
in times of dark despair.
