Keep Silent..


Tell a wise person, or else keep silent,
Because the mass man will mock it right away.
~Goethe, The Holy Longing




I've been thinking all night
weird things, good things, bad things
hoodwinking all over my head
full of people, my place
can I ?
shall I cry out for little space ?

Been tattling around
this and that, poking around
installing my ideas, ruminating
over little chit chats,
should I ?
I should stop doing that


I smell the wickedness, stench of
mockery saluting my nostrils, people with
eyes too slurred to see what I see
heart too blunt to feel what I feel
befriending experts of mine
lampooning in the guise of camaraderie

zenithal stage is not so far
and while I'm on my way
I see people floating away
demure and the dauntless Me
words and the doctrine I speak
nothing but piffling to thee

I've been speaking all night
weird things, good things, bad things
hoodwinking all over my head
Should I stop ?
I should..
Say not to just anyone, right sort of people I seek

catches the drift when I speak
can envisage what I see
sense the semblance from what I feel
Do I ?
I reckon I do
have bunch of them in my yard
daft and wise enough to endure me :)

  5. To tell or not to tell that is dilemma :-)
    Moreover....
    रहिमन मन की व्यथा जाई न कहिये कोय
    सुनि इठिलैहिएं लोग सब बाँट न लैहें कोय

  10. Wise words Jyotimi. Some dreams were killed at the drawing board cause they were shared with the wrong person. Wisdom is so necessary to know which friend to share what with. So key.
