And that is collective foolishness

It is a pity
Intelligence does not come
From gathering facts and figures
And using them for making a living

Be it the software engineering
Be it the dirt drainage engineering
Be it the practice of Ayurveda
Or the peace and love preaching

Intelligence comes from an open mind
Assimilating facts and figures
Accepting what makes sense
And throwing the rest to the winds

That is intelligence

But rushing to Vedas, Koran and Bible
For every thing in this world
And accepting them as words of God
Is foolishness, is foolishness

When blind faith enters your head
It totally shuts your mind
You may appear with intelligence
But you're a fool of the first kind

And you live in your foolishness

Don’t be disheartened, my friend
You are not the only fool
Some famous fools attract
Many fools like you

Birds of the same feather
Always flock together.
Find solace in the foolishness
Of a family of friends

And enjoy that collective foolishness
