Why blame other man is a poem that mirrors man as he is. |
WHY BLAME OTHER MAN? Each time I look into the mirror I see an unresolved puzzle Flopped and drained But undefeated Yet trodden down the streets: Of farms, hills and valleys; For the knowledge of other things Again I look into the mirror I see that same man Unknown to himself Yet thinking he could know others He, lost of himself and binds Claiming to be loose and free Yet full of faults and shams Next I look into the mirror The same swindled man In chains and shackles Subjected by his own prejudices Of knowledge, ego and pride He flushed himself with power And flaunt his knowledge and wealth Such, only synonymous with gods But he is never innocent More ignoble than he-goat And more ignoramus than ostrich Why blaming the other man; When we’re puzzles to ourselves? We forget the man in the mirror Who wants to know everything And refused to know himself He lost the key to all puzzle; Which is himself—myself and you In why blame the other man, I try imagine reality upon reality but everything was absurd. I saw man as a being, that is unknown to himself yet trying to know other things. I saw man as a being, who instead of struggling to achieve harmony in himself abandoned himself trying to achieve order in other things. He is the key to all desired order but he has forgotten himself, the key; and so focuses on vanities. I think you and I have failed because we lost direction; and had we remained an unresolved puzzle to ourselves. |
