I am well aware that those who repeatedly destroy cities, city after city, are all called wise.

This couplet is a profound commentary on misplaced wisdom and public judgment. The poet suggests that those who constantly criticize or mock the essence of established civilizations and communities are often labeled as 'wise' or 'intelligent.' Amrut Ghayal implies that this label of 'wisdom' is merely a superficial title, suggesting that the true measure of understanding lies elsewhere, far from the noise of constant criticism.
