Fool's Gold (after Jill Scott)

CATEGORY

Searched in the dirt for everything that gleams

To find fortune we must realize our dreams

Years yielded nothing but trials and tears

Driven by inspiration and hindered by fears

Mind body and soul traded for fools gold

Mined enough of these rocks to build a long road

The action of their extraction helped me to grow

The weight and repetition conditioned me well

Those that follow now have a path to dwell 

And maybe that’s my purpose

To extract what’s worthless

So the future knows exactly where to go

If we reap what we sow

I Accept my penance and work in Peace 

Gold is real but somehow past my reach

Pretended the dirt was really sand at the beach

And I was on vacation / ocean beneath my feet

Back to reality that water’s a creek

Digging 24 hours / seven days a week

Trapped in a jail/no rest or bail

In time my intentions forged a path to hell

And the moral of the story that I often tell 

Beyond the characters, locations, and plot 

Count your blessings and enjoy what you got!
