Have a Good Hope and Strength

please, stand up do not let them make you down
please, raise your head see moon and stars above
to life full life have a big mind, heart, and love
have a hope for tomorrow and light in night.

This short poem, I find filled with wisdom. It seems other people want me to be like them well, I have no plan to. And I don’t want them to be like me. Then we both end up being cheap. I am not a sheep I am not a follower. I can tell you honestly people don’t like that. Even a long ago, who were famous were not liked. Even as life people are very small minded. They pretend to be loving and there’re anything but that. . Thank you for explaining what type of poem this is, pangie xx

This short poem is kind of Greek wisdom write, so pithy and right. Every one of us is a unique man, however, all men are equal (no one above the other) somehow someway. It is not a simple task or issue or matter to explain in details. Yet, more education and reading makes it clear. Have a nice day, best regards, AA xx
