incredible rain:  a pentaprismic suite

of floods and famines, flaws and fools
 
5. fools
 
insatiable gain
               chokes up the gullet of the heedless fool
insoluble pain
               inflicted by his seamless, senseless rule
impregnable skies
               transcend the liberty of prudent men
who falling yet rise
               above life's rubble never to be floored again
