Life Is So Short. Poem by MOHAMMAD SKATI

Please for a thousand of times and
One time just to benefit from
Your time wherever you are,
Try to be happy
Wherever you go
Simply because you do not need
To be unhappy,
Satisfy your parents
If they are still alive
Simply because they are the eyes
You can see through them,
Ignore all that bothers you
Especially trivial things,
You need to be educated
Just to know this big universe well around you,
Stupidity is a serious disease
That brings all that is bad,
Treat all people good
Even if some of them are not good,
Working hard brings happiness, but
At the expense of one's health,
Never argue with anyone
Simply because you do not need
To have a headache every time,
Books are real friends
Which you need all the time,
Your environment is your great secret
Which must be kept in your mind
For ever and ever,
Your family is number one
Which is always a true saying,
Drive well and safe
Simply because your life
Is great and ever worthy,
Respect your neighbors' rights
Which are always of great importance,
Your daily prayers are
Of great importance
To have a straight life
Without bothering others at all,
Money is great
Just to keep you lovely and well, but
Never you use it in bad ways.
