Reading and Knowing

Mad I am, aren’t I?
Maybe ……!
A loser in shining words 

Madness, someone told, that’s the mother of all brilliance!
But, my madness unravels the knot of ignorance! 

Ignorance is an enemy, even to its owner; it’s a curse- someone said
My ignorance encourages learning others through books
But the unhealthy mind cannot understand what books are

‘Buy; be active in buying books,
No bankruptcy in buying the book’- said by some wises

I buy more books, but now I’m penniless!
Oh; don’t know what bankruptcy is
I’m hungry for perfect nourishment foods 

Whatever, I’ve learned from the buying books
‘Every buyer of the book becomes bankrupt
If buy the book for showing others or decorating the bookshelf!’

‘No books, no life
Know books, know life’- someone said

About life and belief
The more I read books the more I’m in confusion
Now, I’ve learned- ‘Books are thyself, reading this intensely is the correctness of all!’  

Books are the colors of others mind
The mind is the crazy horse; horsepower in the human nerve kills the knowing self
Reading and knowing others is easy but thyself is tricky

Whoever said this "Madness, someone told, that’s the mother of all brilliance!" They are my hero!

I love these phrases " No books, no life Know books, know life"
