To Live a Day Safely

To live a day safely in a city where citizens must be echoes and human rights are a fairy tale but you want your mouth not pinched your ears not pulled by anyone or coconut not to hit your head; a lemur you should be, the big eyes not to miss coming danger Live as a donkey- the long ears to detect dangerous footsteps Live as a giraffe - the long neck to enable you see horizon live as a tortoise the hard shell to safeguard you from falling debris Live as starfish, colored, without brain- brainless to avoid reasoning, as this is a taboo Live as turkey- dumb, foolish- drinking water only when it rains with no heavy demands for rights Live as a gazelle- take off fast when things are unbearable But do not exist as mosquito- you will annoy brain-workers there and, you’ll be hunted down with clubs Do not live as a dog- always foolishly present in waiting, loyally carrying out dirty errands your back will be broken with kicks Like mother Pandas, brain-workers in the city care about feeding only on bamboos, can kill offspring by rolling on them without care! A bamboo be not, a child panda be not, a mosquito be not at any moment Galvanize wisdom and courage with alloys of foolishness and weakness if longevity is to build shelter, in your courtyard.
