Research
Many are shallow waves
-at beaches, in the lakes
- (mirages are many in desert!)
Plenty are the winds, gusts and gales
-hurricanes, tsunamis, breezes.
Varied are the heat waves
-from pots to oceans
-some turn to fog, cloud
-some remain unknown, lost!
Those who sit on fat butts
-swallow wind and fart
-are great, only if
-are dead and out of sight
-to be lost and not-found.
Knowledge is expensive
-costliest, possibly;
-and of course, kills comfort
-takes the life to the bone…
-researcher feels burden!
Knowledge is like needle
-slides in, penetrates
-deep into brain, mind;
-seen by eyes, skin-touch.
-Then slouch the questions:
-what for and, how, and why?
Knowledge is rarest with
-holders of sword and gold.
Those without, run the world!
Researcher sees, observes
-and adds up to the pains.
-The owner of wisdom
-suffers till turns steam
-with blink fades, is gone.
