THE POT SAYS THE KETTLE IS BLACK
THE POT SAYS THE KETTLE IS BLACK
[The ignorant judge others by mere appearance while being unaware of their own worthlessness.]

The pot thinks it shines too well
But calls the kettle black.
Their own deficiencies,
Some people just can’t track.

About such people only
This is what I can tell:
Blessed are the ignorant
In whom doubts do not dwell.

Some people think they are smart
And others are just fools.
Such persons are nothing but
A court jester’s cheap tools.

Everyone desires to have
Beautiful appearance
But the outward is useless
If there is no substance.

The vain and the uncultured,
In others’ fall, show mirth.
Let us not forget the meek
Shall inherit the earth.
