Rumi	Write for The Iranian Editorial policy

Time will soon silence the clamor of bleating cries,

And the wolf of doom devour the whole wooly herd.

Each of their heads is stuffed with bloated pride,

But death's slap on the back of the neck will knock it out for good.

#65: From Rumi's Kolliyaat-e Shams-e Tabrizi
