HOW WE LOVE OUR POETS

how we love to read Rumi

and walk around thinking

how enlightened we are


what sadness Rumi must endure

looking from wherever he is

to see his wisdom become a fashionable hat...


we all love dropping profound quotes and sayings

into out social natter and thinking we come out

looking so superior...


can you imagine what hell on earth

if people really got what Rumi had to say

and tried to live it as he called it?


better they shut their mouths and for once

gave a listen to others...
