The one who can't

I always wonder and ponder,
Whether the one who never touched the soil,
Is sensible enough to feel the texture of tender leaves and delicate petals?
Whether the one who never water the roots,
Is eligible enough to relish the delicious fruits?
Whether the one who can’t appreciate the smell of humus,
Is capable enough to enjoy the fragrance of flowers?
B’cos the roots of beauty always lay deep and hidden,
The one who fails to see the unseen,
The ignorant mind has seen only half the truth,
While the other half lay forbidden!
