Loving Oneself
What of loving oneself?
Ponder three allusions
and think through self-love...
Thou shall not kill ever,
don't take what is not yours,
neither should you deceive.
So say I to you -
you, workaholics -
Don't put your own life
in the grave working
eighty-hour work weeks.
Don't rob yourself
of the pleasure
of true success -
a job well done.
Hear me out!
never lie
to yourself
seeking
fickle
praise.
