Before Anythng- Mai Chue Yang


Before there's life,

There's Earth

Gods and goddesses

Heaven and hell

Devil and angel

Who created these principle of mortalities

The rights and the wrongs of individualities

Either teach yourself to be superman,

wise man,

A real man,

A nice man,

Or a man-iac

Either be a superwoman,

Be strong like a man,

And a hero like batman

Or be a feminine

 

Before there's a change,

There are the cons and the pros

Change like the puffy white snow,

and as Innocent as the way it glows

Or  the the raging tornado

Or this hot and cold changing weather

Be the bad guy or the nice guy

Be the robber or the killer

But they ain’t differ

Be like Romeo and Juliet

Or like the Montagues and Capulets

Like the poison ivy

Or the sweet candy

 

Before you fill in the bubbles

Stop.

And think.

Make a wise decision

A decision that is beneficial

And that it is crucial to win the battle

And do not suffocate from this indecisive adaptation

Make sure it is the right one to give it all

And risk for that fall


Before you put yourself down,Think of the wall

Before it was install,

It is tedious to be built

Like a long embroidering quilt

It takes time to sew

And get into the habit of making mistakes

Because sometimes the needle will brake

Or it will go zig-zag

Try your best before you bent down low

Don't throw back,

But throw forward

Because you don't want the football to fly backward

 

Before you say I can't,

You always have two hands to push you  back up,

Two feet to stand back up,

Two knees to crawl,

If  without two feet

Two eyes to see

And one big mind to think before you answer

And a heart to pump blood all over

Two lungs to breathe,

And start over like the engine

And runs better than a machine

And a tongue to speak

No matter how low you are on the pyramid,

There's always something to bid

And something to get rid

 

Before you think you're higher and above all

Check on the frame of hall

Are you on there bro!?

Then, it's a no

No one is perfect in this world

You can be an American Idol

Or the the principal

Or the residents in Milwaukee

Or the police

Or the president of the USA

Anyways,

It’s  because nothing is flawless




 

Before you think of you as the antagonistic

Be optimistic

Have some logic of reasonings

Can't just cook food with any seasonings

Because then,

You probably messed up so badly

That it tastes salty

Without good measuring

Of input and output,

Then it may smell like the garbage

Or as fresh as cabbage

Because what you choose really matter

For your future

And finalize it to make it superlative

 

Before you think this poem is over,

One last thing to recover

Shine bright like a diamond

Be the sun for all livings

Be lively of your havings

Take it as a gift,

A pleasure as you live, everyday

And the treasure that you find the most amazing in your whole entire life

Like your wife or husband  in the next years

And the love from all your pairs

This poem is just to encourage people and into what they're doing. I wanted them to add more thoughts before they're doing something they think it's wrong or not good.
