If only my mind were numb,
If only my intelligence were defined as
Below average
Stupid
Dumb.
Then I’d laugh,
Step, dance and sing
With no care in the world
No need to search – or yearn for
Intermediate thrills
I’d forget that
People suffer
Children are hungry
Consumerism is a religion
And faces often lie
If only my mind was dumb,
I’d shut up
And just be,
Not realizing that my being
Could not be farther away
From what it really means
To live.

I would like to translate this poem
Also very often want to shut up my mind. Prayer is good for this purpose! longing close to my heart!
