This is what I think
that they are not telling truth
probably yes, just yesterday they were white
oh no, do day care?
why do you say? because I know them
since when brother? guess you not, nor its just perceptions
prejudice or predictions.
clearly something is wrong, what is it?
reading we read, talking we do, yet no one knows
what do you mean?
we all learn through our failures and others' successes
and die for excellence
ask me, I went there once
before these hills form, nothing stopped me
before the ocean became visible, I sank twice
before the candle was brought by its candlestick
I fell before you came, no one was to pick me up
I couldn't work during poverty and drought but for someone fed me
I will be the light for you
I will be the good light, I have seen many myself
you can't see for you are in the river bed, try to come up
for you will pass through the city you will be disrupted
disrupted by the number of lights, the lights that have finished the sight of my eyes
walk silently towards these lights and know just one thing
one thing you do once. you must look to the sky
for there are stars,
are you the star, maybe yes
then if you are one you must ignore even so many
focus to only one.
there are stars there, I met not all myself
one have said to me, "hey I went to the west, yet I can imagine the best"
live your life of imagination, you will see destination at the point of departure.
the poem is raising a question about the way we tend to judge other people that we meet publicly. the fact that we understand them as if we really know them. young people are scared of such experiences because clearly there is a problem in this regard and the fact that there is a way to succeed is itself not enough we need to just face one challenge, the one that will determine our success not anonymous challenges
