    The Idiot Factor
    I ain't nothing but a simple fool
    Feeling like my life has no worth
    When there are people out here in need
    Living life while drowning in greed
    Seems all I can do is feed
    At least I was taught to read
    No arithmatic in my educational sights
    Never thought this brain had heights
    So there, I ain't nothing but a simple fool
    Don't want to go through my life facing a duel
    Lacking getting to this, that, and the other
    Wanting to fit in just like the next brother
    All I know is I can't make it alone
    Always within the grounds of my home
    Nothing but a disgrace to real pain and strife
    Seems that I just can't do anything right
    Although I am just too darn bright
    I just want to be able to live my life
    Even though I ain't nothing but a simple fool
    Still though, I'm pretty decent and cool

    I like this. Think it would have more power if you would get rid of the I and let the reader think about whether it is them or someone else. Good work. Thanks!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
