The Fools: A Sims 4 Poem

Hello welcome to my Sims 4 story blog. This entry is for the monthly Simlit story challenge/contest. It is in the form of a short story/poem. Thanks for reading and please check a few notes at the end.

The Fools

 

I watch them every day.

The way they rush about,

How they scream and how they shout.

I observe their greed in full display.

Their bellies they fill and stuff,

Their wallets never thick enough.

I’ve seen them hand out their pay.

Always in a hurry to get the next big thing,

Thinking this happiness will bring.

I notice their wasteful way.

How they throw away old dreams,

Turning desires into new schemes.

I discern the god they obey.

Material things become their lord,

As many things they start to hoard.

I behold them as they say,

“Look at that old fool watching us!”

Turning their noses up in disgust.

I hold my head up high as I walk away.

Their words meaningless and will not break my cool,

Because at the end of the day, I know who truly plays the fool.

 

 

Thank you for reading my poem/short story. As I stated at the beginning, this was for a challenge/contest. There will be voting for a winner but to vote you must read the other entries so that you have a good idea of who deserves the top vote. Voting will take place after the contest is closed on the 30th of April. You do not have to vote, but I would be very honored if you chose to do so. I am sure the other contestants would be too. Thank you again and as always, Happy Simming!
