Calamities Of Foolishness Poem by Qiniso Mogale

The tragedies of hating knowledge
The tragedies of despising knowledge
The tragedies of not seeking knowledge
The tragedies of detesting wisdom
The tragedies of abhorring wisdom
The catastrophes of scorning advice
The catastrophes of stupidity
The calamities of being senseless
The calamities of foolishness.

The catastrophes of stupid pride
The tragedies of arrogance
The catastrophes of scorning humility
The tragedies of spiritual poverty
The tragedies of spiritual deaths
The calamities of spiritual blindness
The calamities of spiritual deafness
The calamities of foolishness.

The catastrophes of stupidity
The tragedies of lacking knowledge
These have resulted in many being shamed
These have resulted in untold hardships
These have resulted in untold miseries
These have resulted in avoidable mistakes
The calamities of foolishness
The calamities of foolishness.
