Who's fooling who?

Don't you miss those times?
When we had nothing of value
Nothing much to spend on,
nothing to worry about.

Were those days of the past?
Were those honestly the unhappy times ?
So if this is the happier moment,
why aren't you smiling no more?

Ignorant are those people you spoke of
but laughing were those fools you mock,
and the only laughter on you,
is those of mockery.

Sadder is the wiser man ,
so they said.
Yet all I see ,
Is poorer the rich man.

So who's truly the fool now?

For what's the point,
when what you really wants,
is something you can't buy?
And so the fool mock.

So the fool mocks.

Richer; yet
not wiser.



Note: Who mocks who? Who's the real fool now?
