Poem ~ 2
A servile mindset is wrong on all fronts. Don’t be a slave to anything, follow your dreams, say MUZAMIL ARIF AND SUMIYA BANOO
from District Doda, Jammu and Kashmir.��
DON’T BE A SLAVE
Don’t be a slave to things.
Don’t become a slave to society.
Don’t let your loyalty become your slavery.
Don’t be a slave of anyone or anything.
Don’t be a slave to television, or drugs, or work.
Don’t become a slave to someone else’s love, food, or drink.
Don’t be a slave to your anger, fears, and hatred.
Don’t be a slave to ignorance and poverty, Escape them.
Don’t be a slave to others. Be a slave to yourself, your thoughts,
truthfulness, and loyalty.
Don’t be a slave to your sleep.
Wake yourself up and chase your dreams.
Don’t be a slave to your emotions, Control them.
Don’t be a slave to the money
Be a slave to your passion.
Don’t allow yourself to be the slave of
Anybody’s covetousness.
Don’t be a slave to your mind
Make your mind your slave.
Feel free and be free.
Just be your slave to your individuality
and rational thinking; to your style
and creative self.
Do not be a slave to others,
when Allah has created you free.
Believe in Allah and believe in yourself.
