a comment on the Common Core from the 14th century

Hafiz, 14th century Sufi poet, comments on the Common Core:

"Dropping Keys

The small person
Builds cages for everyone
She
Sees.

Instead, the sage,
Who needs to duck her head,
When the moon is low,
Can be found dropping keys, all night long
For the beautiful,
Rowdy,
Prisoners."
