dear dawn and dew ,, iliked the simplicity and the profoundness of the poem.it was simply lovely....

there is a sanskrit saying on the virtue of being a fool

labeth sikatasu thilamapi yathnatha peedyann
(it is possible to squeeze a rock and get oil)
pibeth mrikathrishnikasu salilam pipasarththam
(it is possible to get water for drinking from a mirage)
kathachithapi paryatan shsha vishanamaradayteh
(esarching all over may be you can get a three legged rabbit)
na thu parathnivirthamanaha moorka jan a chiththam na aradayeth
(but it is impossible to change  the mind set of a fool...)

no wonder one mind set acknoledges the other.....

Hello Indu3 and kvakutty,
Nice of you to have dropped in and encouraged the simple thought common to anyone who negotiates the path of wisdom.

Yes Matheikal sir and Swayamprava, What a fool man is many a times! There's no peace around not because of fools, but the wise tend to be quiet and hapless! 

Thanks for the brilliant and interesting sequels!

And they took charge of the oil field
And made lovely cars and automobiles
They burn and burn the oil 
till the atmoshere got hot
Day after day the Ozone got depleted on their sky
One day came when all died of Skin cancer

Believe me fool is always a fool 
And Wise enjoys life to it's full.....

... And they made a religion in his name
He became a god to them
And then they divided the people 
into believers and non-believers
And they killed the non-believers
by dropping bombs on their homes
And then took charge of their oil fields...

Life is such!
