         I.
Oh fool of fools, surrender your misguided endeavor
You can't roam aimlessly to escape what's destiny
Following that thread first, & this one never
         II.
Measure the liquid courage, empty out your cellar
That homemade recipe of absolution drowned in self-pity
Oh fool of fools, surrender your misguided endeavor
         III.
Branded the celestial debtor, heart overwrought with terror
Staring blankly as if meditating on forgotten identity
Following that thread first, & this one never
         IV.
Zero riches of pleasure nor chests of treasure
Do breathlessly await your illogical elegy to ecstasy
Oh fool of fools, surrender your misguided endeavor
         V.
No effort put forth can balance that karmic ledger
While burdened with the knotty trappings of jealousy
Following that thread first, & this one never
         VI.
Expire untethered lest you're ordained as Fortune's beggar
Feigned fidelity deafens thine soul to Nirvana's melody
Oh fool of fools, surrender your misguided endeavor
Following that thread first, & this one never
