Empty Vessels

  • 12

Empty vessels are pure!
Pour them the good to cure!

There are empty vessels everywhere!
Who handles them depends on
What is poured inside
And how it is handled depends on
How useful and useless
They would be forever
Also, sometimes it can be fragile
Sometimes they can be more durable!!

Small kids are like empty vessels too!
What we teach them
What we pour them
What we guide them depends on
Who they are now and
Who they will be in future!

Today, I was walking along the side of the road,
I saw some nursery kids near the dental
I was wearing a black Habaya
And a yellow head cover.
I don’t look awful or ugly!
All praise to Allah
My inner and outer appearance
Are always beautiful and
I have a clear mind and vision!
I don’t have hatred on anything
And I love nature
Human is a part of it!!

I heard some kids telling “Billa”
Looking at me and they were repeating
Also, there was a lady
Who was responsible for the kids
She was trying to make them calm
And shut their mouths!
As soon as I heard, I went to them
I told them, ‘”Dear Kids,
what you said is wrong
Your teachers are wrong
Your parents are wrong
Since they have taught you wrong”
And I left the place!
I wonder why these elders are
Filling the empty vessels with poison!
Why can’t they fill it with good things!
Or why can’t they leave it as it is as pure!
Isn’t this an act of RACISM?????
