Think Before You Do

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!
