Middle Ray Poem by Mohammad Younus

Middle Ray

Middle ray
Among a million rays,
The most straight,
The shortest.

All other rays stray
Left, far far left,
Right, far far right.
No ray,
Save the middle ray,
Stays upright.

Follow the middle way.
Don't let yourself
Stray to lefts or rights.
If you want to reach
Your destination,
Your source,
In the least possible time,
Again.

Short sighted,
Short thinking,
Won't see victories.
They're
Pushed
To extremes.

Then back again.
Go up and
Then down,
Go left and then
Right,
Upheaval
Over and
Over.

Maturity needed,
Guidance needed,
Enlightenment required!

The
Middle way,
Is the
Way.
