FOOL ON THE HILL

FOOL ON THE HILL

Most of
Society
for the most
part
continues
to
remain
ignorant
of the meaning
behind 
"The Fool On The Hill"

The song was 
written to
acknowledge
the voices
of prophets
who cry
for equality
and justice
of the oppressed
Leaders who
dare
for Social Change
The song was written
during a social revolution

Today
The Fool continues
to stand on the Hill
the man with a thousand voices
with the World 
not wanting to know 
him as it continues
to spin....
For it is far easier
to kill the messenger
than to
acknowledge the
need for change

I knew you would get this one!  It is amazing to me that more readers did not.  However as the song goes "  No one wants to know him"  speaks volumes to me.  It is a subject so true, that I wanted to expand on it by writing a poem about it.  Most people do not get it.  They ignore the significant meaning.  I first learned of the meaning, going to a concert of Paul McCartney.  When I realized that it was about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.  It really moved me.  SO deep
