Rebeldeng Krayola: Mga Tula Mula sa Puso at Baga

All Poets Are Fools

All Poets Are Fools

I read with my mind and write with my heart,

I sing in silence and talk while I shout,

I’m wise when I’m crazy and a fool when I’m smart,

I’m sure when I ask things and yet I answer with a doubt.

I glaze at the sounds and listens to the views,

I crave for many and feel satisfied with a few,

I feel weak when I’m strong and down when I’m high,

I tell the truth when I’m lying and yet I’m always sincere with one lie.

I’m over before I start and begin when everything’s done,

I’m gone before I leave and arrive before I come,

I see things differently and understand it the other way around,

I’m everywhere to be seen and yet nowhere to be found.

I hear what people say and yet I don’t listen to what they mean,

I know where I’m going and yet I don’t know where I’ve been,

I can tell what you’re thinking and yet I won’t say a word,

 I have all the time to spend and yet I’ll do nothing till I get bored.
