THE CROWN OF THE FOOL
by SIMU
Humanity is becoming denser by the second.
Stupidity has not only climbed the throne
it sits there with its legs crossed,
its chest out,
issuing commands with an audacity so bold
that even wisdom and common sense stand in the shadows,
speechless,
hands tied,
watching the circus they once ruled.
We are living in an age where ignorance no longer whispers
it shouts.
It stomps across the world with muddy boots,
wading into spaces
where even wisdom and knowledge once feared to glance,
let alone tread.
Now the fool does not knock;
the fool invades.
The fool does not question;
the fool broadcasts.
The fool does not think;
the fool goes viral.
And humanity, overwhelmed,
is swallowed by the dark tentacles of idiots
broadcasting themselves as prophets,
as innovators,
as leaders of the new age.
The digital spotlight has given the shallow a microphone,
and the empty a throne,
and the world applauds as though brilliance
were a nuisance to be ignored.
This is the tragedy of our era:
that spectacle has replaced substance,
noise has replaced nuance,
and popularity has defeated wisdom
without even realizing there was a battle.
But beneath this chaos,
those who still see
those who still think
those who still feel the weight of meaning
stand quietly at the edge of the madness,
refusing to bow to the carnival of fools.
Because wisdom does not die.
It waits.
It watches.
It endures.
And in time,
when humanity finally chokes on the noise it worships,
wisdom will rise again
not to reclaim the throne,
but to remind the world
that clarity was always an option.
A Reflection from the SIMU Collection.
