Knowledge Is The Shadow Of Wisdom Poem by Aftab Alam

I know there lays a box un- opened
Un-attended in the junk house
There is device hidden, unknown

And poverty fashioned truth dying;
Dying with modern economy sprinters;
Life, where you lost the knowledge?

Ah! Scientific knowledge, a step brother
Of the knowledge of humanity
Judge, economy is the retail shop
To ease the pain of human
But as a result we see
The mass death in war and revolution
Silently watching Syria, the death
Like cockroach human are being killed
And already seen in Iraq or Afghan
Gimmicks to bring peace, a farce,
A mimic and a slap on our knowledge

I know truth is poor but free
And we all quest for peace with richness
The world of Kings and Queens

Knowledge! Go and open the box
Take out the Wisdom

Knowledge is the shadow of wisdom
And truth, the soul of Wisdom, I know..

But keep quiet, don’t see, look or utter
We all must imitate to act like
Deaf, dumb and blind, for as, to live long!
Useless mind, what you will find?
