Our Values Should Be
Our values should be written
on posters with a believer's conviction
to incite a protest and end it
with peaceful intentions;
if others don't agree, ignore them.
Our values are the image
of ourselves, of what we proclaim to be
without compromising our introspective
towards the opponents humiliating us;
isn't victory obtained with a constant effort,
not worrying about losses?
One wins a battle astutely,
not with vicious attacks on the enemy;
look forward to your imminent victory!
Our values reflect the concept of faith,
nobody is a lesser human being;
luck doesn't shine on all;
but if it chooses a humble person,
that fortune will not change him.
Wealth is a prized possession based on greed;
it's a glamorous thought to gain
the status of a respectable person admired
only for his riches, not for his perspective
or his apparent deception.
Our values should be
kept according to our belief,
discarding what others think;
it's a fountain splashing and refreshing,
don't stop its flow: it's life-giving water.
