I'm a humble soul Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Nonnoz, Namibia Oct 30, 2006
  Poetry

  

An individual who learn from a child
Gain knowledge from a beggar
Grasp the perspective of a drunkard
Appreciate the teachings of an elder

A human being who believe in the higher power
And depends on the truths taught by my parents
Striving to build on the firm foundation of principles
lived by my parents when I was just a child

The type that refute humiliation and revolt oppression,
subtle but swaying in a liberal way

Someone who agrees with an objective choice
and rebel against a subjective direction
When pushed into a certain viewpoint
I switch off, become stubborn and hostile

When caught up in the inevitable storms of daily life
I strive to stay objective and persistent
In order to wear away mountains with enthusiasm harboring by the believe
that it’s only temporary, for when I look back at it tomorrow
I’ll smile and say “ I have conquered them all”


I’m a humble soul who cries when I see a hungry child
And weep by the sight of a neglected elder
Who sobs when I see a prostitute mother selling her body
for a chance to provide food to her children, because
I can relate to that, I will do the same for my children
I shed tears when I see people judging others because of their own fears,
difference in color, status and opinion.
I cry with the realization that “We don’t know enough to judge”

To you I say:
“have peace of mind, appreciate the moment, cherish your life,
care for your health, focus on what you can control and for the rest, let go”
