Sage Minds Loathe Prating Mouths... Poem by PARTHA SARATHI PAUL

Sage Minds Loathe Prating Mouths...



Why should I prattle or rattle on a theme?
Is not a fit body without flab sleek and nice?
Plump poultry are not so sturdy as drakes.
Men of few words know the value of a single word
More than the garrulous who lavish words on speech.

Pouring a stream of words into deaf ears
Is like flogging a dead mare.
Scattering a few seeds in a fertile land is wiser
Than showering many on barren sands.
