Be Grateful For Once

BE GRATEFUL FOR ONCE

The sky never complain of no rain; her skin keeps shining.  
Neither the soil complain of no water; her texture stands beautiful.
Other creatures are grateful to God except man; 
Man,  yes  the  desires of wanting everything; 
 kills the zeal of other creatures not  to be  grateful to their  Creator.
Man, left the earth and owned  houses under the water and  the space.
The sky is angry because man  occupies their ecosystem,  planes vibration made the sky go deaf;  smoking engines of  planes  blind the eyes of the sky. 
Man wants to own  everywhere. 
Where do you want other creatures to stay and live? 
man’s  ungratefulness  weakened  the universe.
Be grateful for once,

You had good life  others don’t have , yet you wouldn’t  let less privilege be;
Considered  those who have died and gone; some gone earlier than written,
I closed  my eyes maybe I  can  see my  kids and  my wife, but see them not;
The desires to gathered  what  I don’t need, died in me.
Have you considered those who have nothing, yet happy? Gratefulness.
Look your day of  death; your  wealth will not hold you back;
In your grave where you laid, your ear gone  stone dead. Your eyes  blind sleep; you nose smells no more  the  fragrance of perfumes that cost fortunes;
As  I looked  back into  my youthful age, I saw times of my ungratefulness ;
Found memories  of the past, let tears down ;    Oh my youthful age;  why you  don’t tell me the end of my beauty from the  beginning?
Looking at my bone and my  skin now;  limited places I can go and  no one lost after my beauty.
Be grateful for  once.
