Think of Others - Mahmood Darwish

[Lawrence Robinson]

> Think of Others

As you prepare your breakfast, think of others
          (do not forget the pigeon’s food).        
As you wage your wars, think of others
(do not forget those who seek peace).
As you pay your water bill, think of others 
(those who are nursed by clouds).
As you return home (to your home), think of others
          (do not forget the people of the camps).
As you sleep and count the stars, think of others,
          (those who have no place to sleep).
As you express yourself in metaphors, think of others
          (those who have lost the right to speak).
As you think of others far away, think of yourself
          (say: if only I were a candle in the dark).
