"A Luxury We Cannot Afford"

If it doesn’t happen to me,

It will never be.

That is an attitude

We cannot afford to keep.

The attitude of invincibility,

Selfishness and irresponsibility,

That is a luxury

We cannot afford to keep.

Please think of others,

Brothers, sisters, and mothers.

Selfishness is a luxury

We cannot afford to keep.

This world does not revolve

Around what you can resolve.

That is a luxury

We cannot afford to keep.
