Like a fool, I didn't know a thing.
I learnt, what my parents taught.
I learnt, what I saw.
I started talking, I started walking.
I went to school, I was still a fool.
I learnt, what the teachers taught.
I learnt, what the friends taught.
I completed school, I went to college.
But I was still a fool.
I learnt, what I read.
I learnt, what the life taught.
I rose through what I got.
I became what I learnt.
Few good things, also few bad.
But I was still a fool.
What if, I feel- I know everything,
What if, I feel- I have everything,
What if, I feel- I'm not a fool.
Then everything will stop.
My growth, my learnings,
Everything will stop.
I will stay where I were.
Paused, will be the state of life.
Blanked, will be the thoughts.
Being a fool, helped me a lot.
Staying a fool, taught me a lot.
Staying fool is what I want.
For a better life, follow the mantra-
Stay fool, stay cool.

Hi Vivek, amazingly this poem is on a topic that selected for Blog-A-Ton 9...:D
Are you participating then?
It would make a gr8 entry...
Only noticed a couple of grammatical errors.
'I will stay where I WAS!' 'were' is used in plural context.
"Being a fool, helped me a lot.
Staying A fool, taught me a lot."
I love how you ended it...'Stay Fool, Stay cool'!
I would however prefer 'Stay A fool, Stay Cool!'
Anyways..the poet has poetic liberty..doesn't he?
:D
Oh I didn't notice that its the Blog-A-Ton 9 topic, but may be I can submit my entry for it. Hey, that "were" is intentionally written, actually its the "Subjunctive" notice the 'what if' in the poem and in subjunctive 'I was' becomes 'I were' irrespective of singular/plural. I corrected the "A". Anyway, nice catch. Yes, you used the right words -"poetic liberty", we use it as we want it:).
