Facts and Values- a poem by Dr Javed Alam

1/7/2021

 
Facts and Values

As I sat in a lush green field, 
With the Sun hiding behind
Silver clouds, 

I heard two old men
Debating about the importance 
Of facts and values. 

One sage said:
Facts are the most important 
Thing in life;

With Facts, we can map
The course of our lives,
Stars, everything in nature.

Another sage calmly replied back:
You could know all the facts
Under the sun, 

And still not know which facts 
Are important; you could
Know all the facts about 

The physiological changes
Caused by love and yet be 
Oblivious to what love is; 

You could know all the facts
About the brutalities
Faced by a nation, 

But still not know its courage, 
Dignity and resilience
During the adversities.

How I noticed clouds
Disappeared quietly, and Sun rays 
Glowed our faces.
