My Parental Response To Rumi

If you desire wealth Go and make some money Don't let yourself be poor If you desire peace Become a diplomat Don't let yourself fight If you desire love Make yourself loveable Don't let yourself hate If you desire wisdom Go and experience life Don't let yourself be ignorant If you desire healing Get some pills from the doctor Don't let yourself listen to Rumi 26th November 2016                                                       "If you desire healing,                                                        let yourself fall ill                                                        let yourself fall ill."                                                        -  Jalaluddin Rumi (Entry to "Respond to Rumi" contest)
