Ask Me Not For Knowledge

When I become human being I stop seeking knowledge from another one As I know they are driven by strong emotions And their every act is politically motivated Under each and every spreading hand They hide their vested interest ‘’How?’’ Ask me not, Ask the Greek, the great ‘’Are you all self sufficient?’’ Exactly not, Ask the trees they will teach you a lot, As I look to the sky and learn how to be humble With all the glory of height And to be remain unbiased I learn from the rain Even in the time when Wind blows from the opposite direction With all the width and depth the ocean Tells me how to remain calm and quite Despite all the provocations Hovered all around You may ask the Everest How to keep your backbone straight No matter how hard blows the blizzard You may ask the pigeons too How to run your family and rare your children As I watch the crows How they bury the dead bodies Of their kith and kin I am too ashamed Ask me not to go for advices To a human being .
