POEM: LICENSE TO KILL

POEM: LICENSE TO KILL

If you are rich,

does it give you a license

To grab everything?

If you are a non-smoker,

Does it give you a license

To judge and isolate the smoker?

If you are not a drug addict,

Does it give you a license to frame the drug addict?

If you are right,

Does it give you a license,

To yell at those who are wrong in public?

If you are religious,

Does it give you a license to condemn

The pagans and non-believers?

If you are successful,

Does it give you a license,

To undermine the loser?

If your life is full of blessings,

Does it give you a license,

To label the less fortunate as lazy?

If you are gifted,

Does it give you a license

To discourage the talented?

If you are brave,

Does it give you a license

To threaten the coward?

If you are well-organized,

Does it give you a license

To criticize the messy one?

If you are white,

Does it give you a license

To downgrade the black, brown and yellow?

If you are angry,

Does it give you a license

To punch everything and everyone?

If you are not in a good mood,

Does it give you a license

To ruin other’s beautiful days?

If you are a loser,

Does it give you a license

To blame God and everyone?

If you have the cosmic power,

Does it give you a license

To recreate and decide other’s fate?

If you are beautiful

Does it give you a license

To destroy God’s first child’s life?

If you are handsome,

Does it give you a license ,

To create holes in every women’s soul?

If you are an expert,

Does it give you license

To jeopardize  the lives of the ignorance?

If you are a student,

Does it give you a license

To do anything you want

Just because you are under age?

If you are a parent,

Does it give you a license

To make your child another you?

If you are a victim,

Does it give you a license

To victimize others?

If you are so disappointed,

Does it give you a license,

To darken other’s life?

If you are broken-hearted,

Does it give you a license

To shatter someone’s heart?

If you have a miserable life,

Does it give you a license

To make other’s life miserable?

If you are the product of child abuse,

Does it give you a license,

To abuse your own child and other children?

If you are loyal,

Does it give you a license,

To torture the rebellious?

If you are well-fed,

Does it give you a license,

To laugh at starvation?

If you fail in your life,

Does it give you a license

To drag others to fall with you?

In conclusion,

No one is to blame,

Nothing is to blame

But ourselves,

Who failed to learn from the repairable mistakes,

Who failed to understand that 

nothing can change the horrible past,

Who failed to understand that life is meant to be imperfect,

Who failed to understand the beauty of hardworking,

Who failed to understand that life is full of ups and downs,

Who failed to understand that we can always start again 

and make our life better than before,

As changes must always begin with yourself,

And as long as we know that God is always with us.
