Casanova
Casanova is a state
Everyman aspires to attain
But scorn at one
Who has achieved it.

Be wise to spell.
To speak ill of someone
Bespeaks your ignorance;
Hers or his best, you yet to find.

The less blame
Don't hide your wrong.
Don't defend it
Nor justify it.
Then it attracts less blame.

Knowledge defined
Knowledge is the one built
By thoughts of some others
As bricks and yours as cement.

Being ignored?
To feel being ignored
Is the worst suffering.
To counter it is
To feel being spared.

To be sweet
To have sweet is sweet;
To be sweet is sweeter.
I shall be sweet to you
So that you access me.

To become rich
Knowledge is wealth.
Labour is wealth.
Courage is wealth.
Anyone can become wealthy.

Dust alone cannot be shut.
To shut to error
Is to shut to truth too,
As to shut to dust
Is to shut to air too.

Me, after death
What happened to my hair
When I had it cut
Would happen to me
When I am set on fire.

Democracy’s effects.
Democracy is where
Four cats and three rats
By a majority decide
The menu to follow.
