The Crown Of Intelligence Poem by sookdeo manansingh manansingh

Give yourself the honor of obedience
for a child to learn
the crown of intelligence you possess
will lead you to justify what you earn
you are the symbol of divinity
that makes you imagine and
to control the mind
whatever it takes to overcome darkness
within the silence of the soul
you will find

with humility take the oath of truthfulness
to surrender to the faith of your choice
there is no reason to be disheartened
by fear when you can look at nature
and quietly rejoice
to transform challenges into opportunities
and to overcome the world
will make you shine
to follow the pathway of discipline
and to control anger
will give you the courage
when you must not cross the line

when you give from the heart
do not look behind
for the past is already covered in the sand
your determination will lead you
to conquer ignorance
and give you the right to command
as an exemplar of righteousness the kingdom
awaits you to receive your grace
like the waves upon reaching the shore
your fearlessness will be difficult to replace

give yourself a token of appreciation
for considering every form of life
on earth
your etiquette and values will forever float
in the clouds for achieving
your purpose of birth
on noble sage whose eyes are awakened
to see the light
indeed the wisdom that you share
will forever remain eternal
when you are out of sight.
