If You Search Out This Poem

If you search out this poem Anyhow if you search out this poem Then I bid you my heartfelt congratulations And what a good hunter of knowledge you are! I salute you for your thirsty heart Inquisitive mind And to look out at treasures for wisdom Would I be able or not to provide you that kind of satisfaction Of a singer that he gets after singing the saddest song of him or herself I really do not know Meanwhile I talk to myself and think I am really great, sorry; God is really great to send you here And bring me good luck today As we all frequently fall victims of prejudice Under the severe bout of ignorance And have biased perception that only own self is good and rest is very bad For this I do not blame anyone As the race of man is not the creature of logic They are born with vanity and pride I was not exception either Before I thought I knew everything and all, and would go mad That was a mental problem, a psychological one Too much egoist I was and claimed my knowledge was too vast In fact it was my narrowness to scale down the world And was unable to understand the stuffs of life I went arrogantly to make people understand That I had great depth on anything And that was the extreme height of my ignorance Too shallow I was to think that I touched the bottom Actually where I landed was the top of a hill made up of reefs under the ocean It was not too long before I understand Really the race of man needs to travel and meet people a lot As both of them is very fatal to prejudice And to keep off ignorance one is badly in need to read this kind of poems And what are the ways to eradicate vanity and pride? Most seriously one must ask self If he/she is not out of a little piece of mud Or from a dirty drop of smelly liquid And if he/she is not going again to be a particle of dust Then they might continue boasting and showing vanity and pride To them I have nothing to say more about. Do you have?
