Foolish is a man who complements not the forces behind creation
He knows not the source of life
Yet is everywhere reckless in his ignorance
Just living like in his wisdom
Fool is a man rich without love
His heart too rocky to feel for others
He has hands too short to stretch towards the needy
Subscribing his joy with tears of the hungry
Foolish is a man who lustfully follows his neighbour's wife
Prowling in darkness to steal of his fellow's
Selfishly staring at his brother's successes with a jealousy-flaming eye
Never caring he is prone to murder and suicide if his is taken away
Foolish is woman who throws away the infant and gives her back
She dances to the cries of a desperate baby
"I want to be free" she says so
Fool! what is freedom if it bears no love?
Fool, how many days are left of your life?
Who controls the flow of time if you know?
Why are some barren when others bear children?
Fool is you, when you do not fear for what you do not know.
