Being Dumb

I prefer to be dumb if dumbness means watching a puddle and letting it filled with rainwater.

I prefer to be dumb if dumbness means getting a cycle rickshaw for a ride than an automatic motor car to smell the freshness of the breeze.

I prefer to be dumb if dumbness means revisiting the street which had three young kids dancing to the tune of a roadside trumpet.

I prefer to be dumb if dumbness means sharing a smile with the person who has lost everything and has no reason to smile.

I prefer to be dumb if dumbness means keeping my stories with myself when the whole world is pretending to be busy.

I prefer to be dumb if dumbness means sacrificing my smile for someone's tears.

I prefer to be dumb if dumbness means living a life today and leaving all tensions for tomorrow.
