Speak Poetry, Write Poetry (Mister Dillip) Poem by Jacson Gelato

Whether it is you or me,

let us not be the parasite on that tree
that bears fruits so ripe and sweet;

let us not destroy the fragrance of a rose
by removing its petals of color and pride;

let us not be a father to a child
who is loved more by his own parents;

let us not be masters of each other
when we are not even friends;

let us not distort literature
if the mind is so full of hatred or selfishness;

let us not make others to read a line or two
which even a child can think and tell;

let us not make the world seem like a fool
when all are so realistic and cool.
