If You Search Out This Poem

Rating: 5.0


Anyhow if you search out this poem
Then I bid you my heartfelt congratulations
And what a good hunter of knowledge you are!
I salute you for your thirsty heart
Inquisitive mind
And to look out at treasures for wisdom
Would I be able or not to provide you that kind of satisfaction
Of a singer that he gets after singing the saddest song of him or herself
I really do not know
Meanwhile I talk to myself and think
I am really great, sorry; God is really great to send you here
And bring me good luck today
As we all frequently fall victims of prejudice
Under the severe bout of ignorance
And have biased perception that only own self is good and rest is very bad
For this I do not blame anyone
As the race of man is not the creature of logic
They are born with vanity and pride
I was not exception either
Before I thought I knew everything and all, and would go mad
That was a mental problem, a psychological one
Too much egoist I was and claimed my knowledge was too vast
In fact it was my narrowness to scale down the world
And was unable to understand the stuffs of life
I went arrogantly to make people understand
That I had great depth on anything
And that was the extreme height of my ignorance
Too shallow I was to think that I touched the bottom
Actually where I landed was the top of a hill made up of reefs under the ocean
It was not too long before I understand
Really the race of man needs to travel and meet people a lot
As both of them is very fatal to prejudice
And to keep off ignorance one is badly in need to read this kind of poems
And what are the ways to eradicate vanity and pride?
Most seriously one must ask self
If he/she is not out of a little piece of mud
Or from a dirty drop of smelly liquid
And if he/she is not going again to be a particle of dust
Then they might continue boasting and showing vanity and pride
To them I have nothing to say more about. Do you have?
