Why To Live Poem by Taha mustafa

WHY
Why to live?
A heart that beats, a heart that dreams,
A mind that thinks, a mind that finds out.
An eye that pictures, an eye that sees.
A person who lives, a man who loves,
A soul that is innocent, a soul that is pure.

So the heart gives up, so the heart feels sorrow,
So the mind feels empty, so the mind feels lost,
So the eye weeps, so the eye sees death,
So a person stops, so a man breaks,
So a soul wanders, so a soul dies.

Finished? No, not yet.
I have a heart to love, so it keeps beating, so it keeps dreaming.
I have a mind to teach, so it keeps mastering, so it keeps searching.
I have a tear to wipe, so it keeps noticing, so it keeps perceiving.
I have a man to become, so it keeps protecting, so it keeps living.
I have a soul to purify, so it keeps evolving, so it keeps leading.
You know, that's why!
