The Key Of The Lock, Obstacles Poem by Abdul Wahab

Those are wrong like the bees who take the painting as real flowers
And break their own stings, wrong are also the clouds that think to
Forever hide the burning sun; the winds are not wise either when that try
To shake the mountains of the world, the rays are not better
If I am allowed to say so, when that try to dry up the oceans,
As all these know not what goes that comes round
What appears wrong in one phase, in another the same is right and strong
The phase is more important, even more important are time and place
Context is another one to be kept in mind
Same is the case when you go to decide
To choose between mother tongue and foreign tongues
Remember, my friend, there is nothing like short cuts
Nor is there anything that happens in a moment or cause to happen suddenly
Everything happens for a cause and that cause grows
Like a tree that germinates from a thrown up seed or put into soil carefully
The seed is not for anything that is quick; it has always a long time plan
Here there is no scope to take views that is extreme to either side left or right
I am not either here to tell you that the centrists are right
Sometimes centrists are also found to be foolish
Right are those who have a right sense of right proportion
So I have a habit to say
In life balance is the key
To open up the door of success after breaking the lock of obstacles
Here the key of blooming or the trick of flourishing is not lie in one tongue
But in several tongues, go like a swift breeze and capture at least three
To develop in you and in your nations
The knowledge of science and technology
Without which you are nothing,
Only to be found grinding under the grinder of poverty.
