If you should see a fool
Honor him.
For a wise man
Holds his own.
Though if you should see
A wise man
Acting a fool
Delay your response.
For the foolishness
Of the wise man's
Profound attitude
Will prove his point.
From the eyes of a fool
The wise is foolish.
From a wise man's opinion
A fool remains a fool.
When a fool
And a wise man
Argues or fights.
Who knows the difference?
