Who of you will form a foundation without a floor?
Who of you will build on a foundation of floors of flaws?
Hoping to raise a ceiling to cure a flaw?
Knowing your foundation is of straw
Who?
I am hopping mad
Who of you will raise a ceiling on sore hopes?
Knowing your ceiling can prompt a roofing to fall
Hoping to raise a wall so tall to hold back a fall
Knowing your roofing will call for a fall before all
Who?
I am hopping mad
What material made from straw?
What character built of straw?
What future eked out of straw?
Could stand the strain of time?
Hoping to create a future so bright
Knowing your material to build a character was of straw
What?
I am hopping mad
Why tear down the old with no new in place?
Why rip off the existing
When the incoming was still off the grid?
Why build hopes in a yawning space?
Ignoring to install a fitting made to fit?
Hoping to reap from what is not in place
Knowing the time to restore takes more time to sit
Why?
I am hopping mad
Where in the world is the cart placed before the beast?
Where in the universe does the yield precede the seed?
Where on the globe do profits accrue with no deposit?
Hoping to benefit from an astronomical output
Knowing your input lacked living seeds
Where?
I am hopping mad
When investments are done in a rush
Based on suggested decisions thought to be rash
Hoping to trap them in a durable dragnet
Knowing your expectations cannot be met
When?
When has any hasty investment
Ever turned a venture into prudent returns?
When?
I am hopping mad
How does a foundation grow into a credit?
If it is buried in the soil of a debit?
How does a tree bear plentiful fruits?
If it has no firm roots?
How does a foundation of straw?
Turn a brain from a raw…state of mind
Into a brain trained to explore…the mind
Into a brain set to perform from one to more
How?
I am hopping mad
