While the Sun Shines

WHILE THE SUN SHINES To your smiles add a pinch Of pleasure from the inside Steer your eyes not to decide On others wealth or social niche Bloom like a flower before them Just don’t invite nasty bugs To rip you apart or to your beauty cause mayhem Give them nothing more than pecks and Hugs Wine and dine at their high tables Remembering those who had none And your priviledge to feed from their rich stables Balance the equation and have fun Enjoy their culture but cherish not Their crazy tradition before it gets into your head Put your background and pedigree infront Of your steps, fear not your past but spread The joy in the hardship you have endure Honour your pride if they reject it Admire your beauty if it is not adore By those, whose hyprocracy disclose their deceit Display your teeth while you laugh Expose your agony in your cries Pretend not or cut yourself into half Happy or sad, be yourself before all eyes Push on if fate becomes a stubborn obstacle Which keeps you off balance and confuse Expecting the sun to shine and a miracle On the other side, make your worries diffuse Tell the world that you are much stronger Not afraid of life’s booby traps and mines Show them that the muscle on your arm can last longer Before nightfall, walk in the light, while the sun shine
