Guest guest Posted June 11, 2003 Report Share Posted June 11, 2003 The only problem with not castrating A gigantic ego is That it will surely become amorous And father A hundred screaming ideas and kids Who will then all quickly grow up And skillfully proceed To run up every imaginable debt And complication of which your brain Can conceive. This would concern normal parents And any seekers of freedom And the local merchants nearby As well. They could very easily become forced To disturb your peace; All those worries and bills could turn to Wailing ghosts. The only problem with not lassoing A runaway ego is You won't have much desire to sing In this sweet World. - Hafiz Translated by Daniel Ladinsky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
