Provocations Of Time Poem by Bernedita Rosinha Pinto

In disturbing others,
you disturb your own self;

in hating others,
you hate your own self;

in provoking others,
you provoke your own self;

in dis-respecting others,
you dis-respect your own self;

in discouraging others,
you discourage your own self;

in depriving others,
you deprive your own self;

in appreciating others,
you appreciate your own self;

in forgiving others,
you forgive your own self;

in loving others,
you love your own self.
