Values Poem by Abdelwaheb dhaou

Principles, values, ethics, mottoes
Like sparkling, vivid emeralds
In my gloomy, sumptuous mansion
Possessively linger to sojourn

Endeavor yet to decamp from my cocoon
Revamp, acclimatize and be apologetic to
This eccentric, zany and turbulent world
Break away and from routine commute

And I like a moth taken with a candle
Decline to stand at my grave sob and grieve
Rather shepherd, escort and usher them
And to their cosy nest redirect

For psychedelic drugs could not nurture
Eggshell, porcelaneous souls nor satiate.
