THE POEMS OF PICKUP: 20 by HAN SHAN

First Line: THERE EXISTS ONE TYPE OF PERSON
Last Line: AND ALL HIS WRONGS RETURN
Subject(s): CHINESE LITERATURE; FOOLS; PUNISHMENT; REASON; IDIOTS; INTELLECT; RATIONALISM; BRAIN; MIND; INTELLECTUALS;

There exists one type of person
a meddlesome fool since birth
all day at the roadside
not far from a tavern
give him your support
speak to him of reason
one day he goes too far
and all his wrongs return
