A Beautiful Poem

The small man
Builds cages for everyone
He Knows.
While the sage,
Who has to duck his head
When the moon is low,
Keeps dropping keys all night long
For the
Beautiful
Rowdy
Prisoners.

Hafiz, an Iranian, Sufi poet from the 14th century.
(I found this on Chris Guillebeau’s blog, The Art of Nonconformity)
