"Deluded fool!" I fling the words around
My sodden brain where innocence has drowned,
Its body bloated, stripped, a beaten seal,
Deluded fool!

Expecting human nature won't confound,
Stupidity an act that pranced and clowned,
I lived a life that overlooked the real,
Deluded fool!

My privilege is dashed upon the ground.
Believing folks are decent? Smash it! Pound!
Ignoring truth for fanciful appeal?
Deluded fool!

The lapping icy waves the only sound,
Embrace despair so failure won't astound!
Except I can't. It's not the way I feel,
Deluded fool.

Betrayed, abandoned, still I haven't frowned.
Resolved, I'll proudly rule, remaining crowned.
My hope's been shattered: watch it recongeal.
Deluded fool...
