“Thank goodness
I was never
sent to school;
it would have
rubbed off some
of the originality.”

Poem:
.
be happy you are you and not me
inside of others heads we cannot see
I am happy to be me and not you
then, neither of us would have a clue
let the children be children
their personality is already built in
let others be others if they must
it is only in God that we can trust
billions of souls every one of them unique
the fortunate survive to become an antique
just be glad that you are you
find the way, you may become a guru*
.
- *guru ” from Hindi and Punjabi, from Sanskrit guru
‘weighty, grave’ (compare with Latin gravis ),
hence ‘elder, teacher’.”
gu – one, an elder ru – who shows the way, teacher
