Guest guest Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 Hi new members welcome..sending everyone a poem hope you like it. AND APPLAUD Once a young man cam to me and said, " Dear Master, I am feeling strong and brave today, And I would like to know the truth About all of my --attachments. " And I replied, " Attachments? Attachments! Sweet Heart, Do you reallly want me to speak to you About all your attachments, When I can see so clearly You have built, with so much care, Such a great brothel To house all of your pleasures. You have even surrounded the whole damn place With armed guards and vicious dogs To protect your desires So that you can sneak away From time to time And try to squeeze light Into your parched being From a source as fruitful as a dried date pit That even a bird Is wise enough to spit out. Your attachments! My dear, Let's not speak of those, For Hafiz understands the sufferings Of your heart. Hafiz knows The torments and the agonies That every mind on the way to Annihilation in the Sun Must endure. So at night in my prayers I often stop And ask a thousand angels to join in And Applaud, And Applaud Anything, Anything in this world That can bring your heart comfort!
