I am a fool!

In this foolish world

Nameless am I?
You called me this and that.
Never comply with my soul
I am nameless!

I have a heart to love and hate
A face to express emotions
From an underlying ocean of feeling's
Those are all nameless!

I may not want to talk!
You made me talk unnecessarily
Swimming in the ocean of words
Never I expected while i was born

I can walk, run, climb and swim
In a fraction of second i think
You made me thinking in words
And you made me climb a ladder.

I have eyes to see
You showed me forms
Putting names you taught
All these names are misplaced once.

I am not grateful to anyone
I am not inspired by anyone
I am a fool in this foolish mad world
Full of characters, words and punctuations.

Nameless I am born
Nameless I will die
In the world of foolishness
Where names are just signs

We are what we want to display and perhaps, are judged accordingly. Or perhaps in this hustle buttle world, we are briefly seen but rarely felt or understood. Your words have meaning that needs be Fools explored.. have tried my best but could read again.

Fools are called fools because others know no better. The self-named fool knows his worth will be recognised by remaining silent.

To me, in my interpretation of this poem, this feels very much like a conversation with "the powers that be." Angry at being made capable, but frustrated by being put into those situations you didn't want to be in. Being shoved along, and the reactions that come along to that.

There was a time, once, when I would have really resonated with this. In more recent years, I've learned to "comply" with my own soul a little bitter. Call me crazy, but I think we have more choice in this journey than we were all initially lead to believe. Food for thought. Either way, nice work, Arundass. Best wishes, friend.

WOW!!!! This is so powerful, and very sad.Your last stanza is gripping but it holds truth. all of us will eventually fade away like that.
