Like mountain Everest
Which knows not how far it has gone
To establish itself as the highest mountain of all
Which shall be remembered until then?
His teacher’s lessons he teach
In and out of the day
Where opinion leaders
Leave not his doorpost until witty sayings they hear
After which he would go and dine with Kings
Enlightening them on the way forward
Which since he has learn from the holy scrolls
Abandoned by many
Who chase the wind and eat dust
Yet to which they are not satisfied
In that repeatedly they try
But to no avail and vanity instead
Ending at where they start
Which yet he would not
And clothing himself with wisdom
Just like the ‘Dawner’
Who sleeps with old and bad
Habits and information
Waking up with new ones like the lily flower
Ever looking fresh
Which would remind him to say?
“If love be a substance, to every person and the taste it
would have”
“If wisdom be a cave, only the humbled would go through”
“If anger be a fire, it would not stop smoking the heart
that expects always”
“If happiness be a drug, to them that would know bad and yet
do good can afford it”
“If death be a woman, only the righteous would be a bachelor
for long”
