Analysis of Who makes these changes?
Mewlana Jalaluddin Rumi 1207 (Balkh) – 1273 (Konya )
Who makes these changes?
I shoot an arrow right.
It lands left.
I ride after a deer and find myself
Chased by a hog.
I plot to get what I want
And end up in prison.
I dig pits to trap others
And fall in.
I should be suspicious
Of what I want.
