IGNORANCE

For one hundred thousand years you have carried

In your hand one stone and one gem and due to

Your ignorance you did not know the value of each.

After a hundred thousand generations your

Selfishness and your ignorance agree, you have

Thrown away the stone and kept the gem.

 

Discrimination is a weakness of ignoring yourself.

 

For thousands of years until now you have not

Drank from the river of humanity because your

Cups are dirty.

 

You are all weak when you think of what perfection

Truly is.

 

The route of liberated league is behind a thick mist,

But is visible to those of us who are gaze into the

Divine looking glass.

 

How many have kissed you and their hearts are

Away from your heart?

How are they worthy of you?

But, the smile of such lips is enveloped by a mask

Of hypocrisy and lies!

You feel by their kisses, if you are sensitive and

You understand their smiles from the veils of their

Looks which are patches in their eyes. They are

Foolish because they are failed actors.

 

Be aware because when they do not find interest in

Your friendship to them their relationship ends with you.

Then they leave you alone with your problems

Agonizing, regretting for what you gave them

Honesty, fulfilment of promises and interests.

They do not understand the language of friendship

Because their friendship was to take the proceeds of

Your days for their own benefit, haughtiness and

Majesty. Whatever, grant them forgiveness and you

Feel your hearts shinning with calmness.
