Poetry from M.M. Yusif
To: My Students
Do Not Allow the Light to Blink
Oh my flowers
You are still shining
Do not allow the light to blink
Carry your beauty to the corner
Do not tell me
The light comes and goes
The thunder crying
But the rain refuses to come
Do not be disturbed by the wind blowing
Carrying dusts to your eyes
Blowing your pens and books
Some leaves falling down on you
Oh there are always blocks along the way
Stones thrown from within
Laterite from outside
All very discouraging
Do not be frightened
Remain healthy
And cheerful
Everyday become more confident
The future will flower for you
You would be the carriers of good message
The light would continue to shine
The light would never blink
