Don’t be like the hyena of the jungle
With doglike grin, annoying to look at
Greedily waiting for its next meal
Don’t be like a vulture in the desert, flapping its wings on the air
With naked head, preying for the rotten
Don’t be a piranha of the freshwater
Waiting to attack any moving thing
Don’t be like a maggot
Enjoying the decaying matter of the past
But be like a gazelle, enjoying the freedom
Gracefully hops on the meadow
Be like the eagle
Soaring freely, on the open air of liberty
Be like the dolphins
Playfully enjoying the vastness of the deep sea…
Be like the butterfly,
Ready to accept the next stage, leaving its cocoon
