The Vocabulary Lesson: qasida If the words we choose are merely tools that separate the wise men from the fools, what kind of workshop is the kind of school where any passion in our hearts is cooled and what we learn is just a set of rules and reasons why our lives are base and cruel, an endless search to find some precious jewel that uses our own hearts and minds for fuel?

If the words we choose are merely tools
that separate the wise men from the fools,
what kind of workshop is the kind of school
where any passion in our hearts is cooled
and what we learn is just a set of rules. #PoetSky #BlueSkyPoets #Poetry #qasida
