LET NOT

LET NOT

Let not your love pain someone
Let  not your hatred kill any innocent one
Let not your food make one more hungry
Let not your compassion compel one feel sorry.

Let not your life be one’s death
Let not your deeds stab one’s faith.
Let not your smile prompt one to rile
Let not your sweets be for one bile.

Let not your hospitality be for one hostility
Let not your charity violate one’s chastity
Let not your recognition blur one’s identity
Let not your steps wound one’s humility.

Let not your sanity make someone insane
Let not your beauty rain one’s bane
Let not your water enhance one’s thirst
Let not your sham broom, heap in one’s soul, dust.

Let not your sympathy force one feel poor
Let not your sugary deeds taste one sour
Thus, let you do nothing that worsens one’s ache
Being not a hyacinth, bless’d you are, for God’s sake.

N.B: Water hyacinth is one of the best examples of selfishness and not allowing others to live and grow together harmoniously.
