Wait Not Poem by Dr. Ahmed Gumaa Siddiek

'Gather quick out of darkness'
'All the songs you know'
'And throw them at the sun'
'Before they melt like snow' *
Sure opportunity does not come twice
so be wise
It will not wait for you
so you should know
It is like snow
If you do not run, will quickly melt in the sun
Simple physics as you know
Therefore, you have to go
And do what you have to do
What supposed to do
Wait not for anybody to tell you
What you need to do
Never wait for someone to tell you
Where to do so and so,
When to do so or so
And Why to do so or so
Life is short and opportunities, too
So gather quickly all that you can
And wait not for any woman or man
Let them hurry and follow your steps
And back you
And together cross the river
Enjoy the sweet life and forever
So, gather all your luck at once
And drink it in one sup
And drink even the dryness of the cup

*Langston Hughes
