Opportunities While You Are ‘in This World' Poem by Najib Altawell

Purify your thoughts
Before and after
You ‘talk'
Before and after
Your ‘sleep'
Be in control
Of your mind
Your ego
Be in control
Of your thoughts
If you cannot love all the time
Then
Neutralise your feelings
Accept gratefully
Whatever ‘comes' your way
As you are the one
Who
Is ‘creating' ‘bringing' every ‘event' and every ‘item'
To your life
Always respect and love yourself
Always respect and love those around you
And those beyond
Temporary you are here
Departure can be anytime
While you are still in ‘your' ‘shell'
It is your opportunity
To create your own treasure
By doing your ‘best'
To all the ‘others'
And
To the 'rest'
But never
Never
Forget the 'deadline'
It is part of your Earthly 'time'
Always be 'positive'
Always be 'happy'
You have been given the ‘opportunity'
So please
Do not waste your time
The principle is
To benefit 'others'
Before you even 'start' to think
Why I am here?
And
What is theirs?
And
What is mine?
