Think of Others

As you prepare your breakfast, think of others

do not forget what Doves eat.

As you wage your wars, think of others

do not forget those who seek peace.

As you pay the water bill, think of others

those who are breastfed by clouds.

As you return home, your home, think of others

do not trifle those who live in tents.

As you sleep and count the stars, think of others

there are those who cannot find the place to sleep.

As you free yourself with metaphors, think of others

those who lost their right to speak.

As you think of distant others, think of yourself

say: I wish I were a candle in the dark.
