Freddy can't talk. He can't understand.
It's like talking to a brick wall, my friend.
It's best not to talk to him at all.

Freddy doesn't think for himself.
He lets everybody decide things for him.
Don't try to make him independent.

Freddy doesn't see. He is emotionally blind.
He sees what his friends see.
Nothing.

Freddy will die eventually.
He won't die like you or me. He'll die
without reason to live.

Freddy is a fool.
Be like Freddy, and
you'll be one too.

Wise message.

Only complaint is that your poetry is much too straightforward (and many people like that), but I personally like it when the significance of a poem is left for the reader to figure out.

So maybe be, just a tad, subtle at times(?).

I really love the message you have here though.
