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
