introspection   Author:  6798  Category:(Poetry) Created:(4/10/2000 11:24:00 AM) This post has been Viewed (267 times) One who never speaks up is not necessarily unlettered Like a parsnip he silently matures One who is eloquent is not necessarily highly educated Like an empty drum he can blow the loudest hot air One who knows how to distinguish a piece of glass from a diamond is the one who should be called a scholar though he may not hold that special piece of paper One who is lost in the lure of glamour whose only concern is to be famous always follows the habit of the hen She lays an egg the whole village knows One who consciously seeks the truth is not hard up for any recognition In fact he emulates the habit of the turtle who lays hundreds of eggs yet no one knows One who is only good at criticizing others is actually jealous or may have forgotten his own weaknesses One who likes to moralise though his own character is obnoxious should look into the mirror and not be a great pretender And one who is always cynical deeming others as hypocrites has he looked within himself? The truth is everyone is equal nobody is perfect.
