THINK OF OTHERS
As you prepare your breakfast think of others.
Don’t forget to feed the pigeons.
As you conduct your wars think of others.... Read More
Don’t forget those who want peace.
As you pay your water bill think of others.
Think of those who only have clouds to drink from.
As you go home, your own home, think of others
Don’t forget those who live in tents.
As you sleep and count the planets think of others
There are people who have no place to sleep.
As you liberate yourself with metaphors think of others
Those who have lost their right to speak
And as you think of distant others
Think of yourself and say
“I wish I were a candle in the darkness.”
One of the last poems of Mahmoud Darwish
