Blessings of Ignorance

Pity the people who pine for knowledge And spend sleepless nights in its pursuit Forgoing all pleasures offered by life Forgetting self, nay, forget ‘living’ itself. Feel sorry for all their showy clamoring Making others look seemingly ludicrous Forever find them burying their ostrich heads Delving in the pages of voluminous books. Show them sympathy, for wisdom is endless Any effort in pursuit of it is utterly useless For with each attainment, the craving lasts And remains unquenched many ages past. The more one knows makes him miserable As one becomes aware of the immeasurable Knowing rather reveals the vast unknown Which exposes the limitations of human brain. This all happens due to poor grasp of blessings Conferred on humanity by ignorance ab initio Only the blessed souls with massive past merit Revel and relax with the blessings of ignorance.
