Poem shortened due to size limit Full Poem: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/softdevlife/contributed_articles/master/Poems/thinkbeforeyoudo.md "Hold on my child! Watch your step!" My father could say enthusiastically to me "Think before you do!" "The more you think first, the more abundant your life will be!" That was the best blessing words of my father To this day, I follow those words everyday But oh might you! I still fail often with daily temptations devouring me But I stir away as much as I can as the day that I did not forget and haunts me still says upon to me: Remember the day where my great father's vessel burst out one day Temptation made him to use quick make up instead of cleansing his body Temptation that drove him to a fruitless life instead of a fruitful one Yet devoured by nothingness, his soul was still there speaking to me on his last minutes of life "Oh, I wish I was a robot where I could always follow my words and do not fall prey of temptation!" "But robot am I not, but robot I wish I was" The more I followed those words The more it saved me from everyday disasters that were coming miles away Where others could do but not think That their actions that do not hurt now will hurt them later I experienced a department that had a lot of blessings from people that had divinity within themselves However, a clash of ideologies erupted to those who had the blessing and those who had not On the one side, the blessed people could not follow their faith Their religion of amplifying the divinity of our world was not practiced They were not cared of what they thought, nobody could listen On the other side, the people who were not blessed were sensitive to their sensitivities, they wanted to follow their past world without divinity, a past world that was starting to collide now despite its sheer abundance But oh might you! You didn't think but you only do! Like a politician, doing what they already do And the more you do what you already do The more miles away you are from the audience believing you are just a hero instead of an any man Oh might you! I feel pity why you had that arrogance and conceit from your past world But I tell you, fear not for what you already have done As god has mercy on you For laws cannot be followed, but only learned And one day, let shall cross our path, where I teach you to me, and you teach to me For that is the real kingdom of god As for today, I say to you, think before you do!
