You Before The World Poem by Goodenough Sakhile Dlamini

You Before The World



Step one

Cry while others are happy that you have arrived,

Move your hands and legs in any how to contrived

Hold those little hands that your gift of life.

Lean and learn to smell your real mom as of rife.

Touch and experience everything by your hands and mouth.

Let your mom worry about all other things as south.

Step two

Ask everything by crying, as surprise

Hold on to your mom, pull her hairs, and put your fingers in her eyes.

Hold on to that mama's breast that your healthiest meal

Watch everything with eagerness like a wheel

Pull everthing don't worry if they fall that not on you.

Step three

Play with others on your age

Make them your friends, show them you are smarter then them.

Don't hit them you are not a bully

Play with soil, do washing that your mom left unattended

Make your on way to everything you can reach.

Focus on your pleasure and cry as much as you can.

Touch that fire to burn you up and you will understand it harmfulness

Step four

Say what is in your mind better stalk

Listen to others as they talk

Try to call names, no matter if they now sound different

Make meanings through accommodation and simulation

If it funny laugh until you are satisfied

Make the world your playground,

Listen to the elders what they have to say to you

Be afraid of what they tell you not to touch.

Ask question like why? , how? , what?

Step five

Now you are growing too fast like ducks and drakes

Take punishment for your mistakes

Ask for forgiveness if you have to

See things on the way around you

Respect everyone around you

Everybody who is in your parent's age is your parent too.

Involve yourself in everything that is being done either school or elsewhere.

Find yourself through others

Listen to music that you like, that suit your style.

Take those advise of your friend they will grow you up.

Whatever you choose to be but don't forget where your come from.

Remember your background everytime you take that decisions.

Step six

They will tell you now that you have grown up

Live life with purpose now

Pray to God to keep you in the right path

Have a role model keep faith

Learn to bounce back when you fall

Don't let shortcomings ruin your dreams

Learn to breakthrough those walls act in Reims

Create your image, clear the wounds with suture

Make choices that will make you live a better life in future

Not the one that will make you survive

Step seven

Keep your focus, make it slow

Experience things, go with the flow

Don't let anything take over yourself, scream.

Repect the world, pay attention to your dream.

Stand for consequences of your mistakes and badness

Enjoy your world by turning all your tears to happiness

Hold on to whatever you need

Make others happy with you or about you

Don't be a shame create joy of slew

Don't judge people let the world do that for you

Don't seek for revenge but let the world do it for you.

This is the world show some love...
