Foolish Teachers
© Harold Vondenstein 9-11-03
Are you teaching
Words of wisdom
Words of folly
Wisdom of the fool
What’s the basis
Of your aces
That you teach
To those who look to you
For hope
Are you teaching
What you know
Handed down to you
By the blind
Over generations
Of love and control
What are you teaching
Don’t you really know
Is a parrot
Really qualified to lead
Wisdom of the fools
Who only know
The limits of the box
In which they’ve put themselves
And their God
Wisdom of the fools
Hard in their ways
Deaf ears to the truth
Hearing only the wisdom of man
Wisdom of the fool
Unbreakable deception
Of the teacher
Hardened of the heart
