Passions & Wisdom

When passions rise

Wisdom falls.

Importance & Works

Even though
None of us is important
We are made to feel important
When we impact the lives of others
And we remain important only as long as
Our works continue to impact the lives of others;
Importance can outlive us only through our good works.

Elephant & World

The world is the elephant in the room
And we, the billions of blind human beings
Who feel only the parts accessible to our senses
And insist that our own worldview is correct
Whereas everyone else’s view is wrong.

Time & Life

Time is life
And life is plentiful
For those who waste no time.

Q uality & Numbers

Quality is subjective
Changes with times and peoples
And is most illusive to measurement;
Wisdom directs us to become suspicious
When ever quality is expressed in numbers.

Humanity & World Citizens

Rejecting identity labels is necessary
For those who wish to re-join humanity
And become citizens of the world at large;
Instead of being identified by their countries
Or their religions, political parties, ideologies, etc.
Which separate them into discordant factions
They will awe their allegiance to humanity
And to their ailing planet, instead?

Boiling Pots & Nations

In the boiling pot
High-energy molecules
Fly to seek other domiciles
While low-energy molecules
Languish behind;
Such is the competition
Among the boiling pots
Of the world's nations.
