Our "Inadequacies" - "Fooling" Ourselves

Shaer
by Shaer
21-Apr-2008
 

Our "Inadequacies", Rampant With Ego ..
Telling People One Thing, Yet Being Something Else ..

Trying To "Project" An Image, Totally Opposite Of Who We Are ..
Thinking That We Can "Fool" People, Yet All Obvious ..

Telling People, That We Have This "Degree" Or That ..
Thinking That We Would "Elevate" Ourselves, Not True At All ..

Having An Air Of "Sophistication", Yet Without "Substance" ..
Thinking That We Are "Impressing" People, Yet They Are "Laughing" At Us ..

My Brother, You Are What Is "Within" You ..
Not The "Image" That You "Project", But What Is "Within" You ..

I Am A Sociologist, A Therapist, A Knower Of Human Psyche ..
Yet I Don't Know Myself, Not Really At All ..

I Try To "Project", A "Progressive" Human Being ..
Yet At The Slightest "Sign" Of "Criticism", Fold Like A "Fascist" ..

I Have A Picture On My Avatar, A Smiling Face ..
Yet I Am "Ignorant", Through And Through ..

My Friend, You Know Who You Are ..
I Need Not Mention Your Name, You Know Who You Are ..

Deleting All "Undesirable" Opinions, We Know Who You Are ..
Even Those That Are Fair, We Know Who You Are ..

Try To Fix Yourself, Before Fixing Others ..
There Is "Much" To Fix, We Know Who You Are ..

Generalizing One Group As "Bad", From Your Own "Poor" Experiences .. Grow Up My Friend, We Know Who You Are ..

It Is Good To Be "Mature", Yet You Are "Not" ..
Work On Yourself My Friend, We Know Who You Are ..

This "Site" Is Being "Generous", Both To The "Wise" and The "Fool" ..
Thank God For Being A "Fool", We Know Who You Are ..

Go My Friend, Stop These "Pretensions" ..
People Younger Than You, Yet Much "Wiser" ..

We Know You've Been "Hurt", Yet Your "Hatred" Obvious ..
"Bury" Your "Hatred" My Friend, We Know Who You Are ..

Remember, Be Fair And Wise In The Future ..
Throw Off This "Mask", We Know Who You Are ..

Go My Friend, On Your Way And On ..
Fix Yourself "First", We Know Who You Are ..

Being "Pathetic" Is Easy, Try To Be "Magnanimous" ..
Reach Deep Within You, I Am Sure You'll "Find" It ..

Remember, Honesty Is The Best "Mask" ..
All Other "Masks" Will "Fail" You, We Know Who You Are ..

Go My "Friend" ..
"Learn" ..

"Your" ..
"Lesson" ..

"We" ..
'Know" ..

"Who" ..
"You" ..

"Are" ..

Thank you for your contributions. Please don't allow the darkness that emanates from some to discourage you from your work.

Many people, including myself, have benefited from your wisdom. Please keep up your good work.

May God open up the eyes of those that are closed. They know who they are. Thank you and be well.

Peace :)

Shaer, now I know who "you" have become.

by Azarin Sadegh on

Wow, I had never seen this side of you...

I read your "poem" here, and thanks for showing Iranian.com readers, like me, your true nature. I can't speak for others, but for me you have lost any credibility you had.

Sorry...now I know who “you” are. 

There was a blog today about kindness by Tahirih. It was about Mona and her kind nature and the kindness in general and the value of kindness seen by Iranian.com users. I suggest that you read that blog. It might help you to get over your urge to give unsolicited advice to real poets and please...stop calling this non-sense poetry.

Dear Shaer

I have read this poem, and I understand you are trying to be considerate in not explicitly mentioning the person's name.

However, do you mind if I can hazard a guess by asking whether this poem has anything to do with that article by Azadeh Azad on how Iranian men have bothered her in the past, and her poor experinces with them?

I noticed that all the comments have been removed from the article. Thank you.
