"fool's gold" is a compilation of poems that explores the concept of being fooled. to fool, to deceive, to trick, done by others ('them, ' in part 1), by the government (part 2), and by myself (part 3). although much of it has a similar theme to my first book "he loves me, he loves me not," it is different. I know now that there is clearly something wrong with being treated 'less than.' I am on a journey now to figure out how to mend that, and to demand more. fool me once, shame on you.
