Like Water And Oil Poem by Adilson Pinto

Hello, you!
Don't live the life of another person
Don't takethe suffring of another person
Don't assume the Karmaof another person...

No, no: don't do like this!

Because you have your own Karma,
You need to overcome your own problems
You need to deal with your own suffering...

Be fraternal, be mercilful, be loving, be brother, be sister
But don't take, on your shoulder, the weigth
Which another one must carry!

In this path where we walk on,
We must do a chain of love, a chain of fraternity,
We never must give our back to somebody who cries,
Who asks for some help,
For some comprehension,
For some attention...

But we need to learn to separate what is ours,
And what is not ours!

Like the water and the oil which don't misture themselves
We cannot add suffering to suffering
Pain to pain, tears to tears...

Because each one goes on his road
And has something to learn and an appropriate teacher
To teach each lesson he needs!
