Learn From Your Hair
Learn from your hair wisdom
when young and shining
it does not announce
its beauty and fragrance
Comb it, leave it unkempt
it does not complain
protest it will not
it’ll accompany you as it is
You torture and chase it away
from your body
it will come back
without giving up you see it there
When you grow old and frail
it will not deny you
never will it migrate
to the body of a youth
Yes; when you die
it will go with you
no query why you enter a coffin
What a loyal partner the hair is!
