Secular and religious appear as segregation
In unity they were a celestial combination
Sadly they are a source of division
Their marriage alone grants us vision
Intelligence not memory is the measure
So acquisition isn’t devoid of pleasure
Earnest aim is concept, not fact
Information can yield only tact
Sow that kernel of creation
Parrots, better at imitation
How shall you judge superiority?
When the criterion is conformity
You know not if wrong or correct
If the tower of logic alone is erect
Food for both spirit and mind
Or the heart would turn blind
Enlightened path is to be shown
And not making of mental clone
For it’s nectar to yield honey
Hunger isn’t power or money
Alike are not knowledge and ability
You only fly with wings of humility
Yet piety and genius, a dual yardstick
Or try never to cure a world, so sick.
