The Battle Of Time Poem by Mona Kattan

“It was when man began to listen,
To deviate from the routine of his error,
To accept the need for change and conquer
his battle of arrogance and innate fright of the untouched trails,
To fathom life from an unignorant perspective,
To realize that the idea of what he knows as life today
is as fragile as hollow cracked bones of a hundred years of age.
To rid himself from the rigidness bestowed upon him
And unleash the freedom of bravery and discovery
To refuse his destiny of mediocrity
and challenge himself to shoot beyond his expectations
which he held yesterday.
To take apart his once perfect dream and make it anew.
To welcome criticism, for it is kin to success”
