Mystic Fools of the Poetry Tea House

Posted: Nov 11, 2008 Tue 12:49 pm     Views: 278    Interacts: 0


A chaikhana - poetry tea house
where they meet to sip tea
and talk of the ancient mystic things
told by the gurus and the prophets
full of crap and idiocy.

They think they are the
enlightened ones in all of humanity
unaware they are no lesser fools
than the ones they praise of antiquity.

Fool do not want to know
they are fools for otherwise
they will not be fools.
They keep their own company.

A community of fools welcomes fools
and ban those who tell them they're fools.
Thanks to the one who explored Chaikhana
to further expose the mystic fools.
