Pensa agli Altri

Italian translation:

(text of poem under the rose)

THINK OF OTHERS 

As you fix your breakfast, think of others.

Don’t forget to feed the pigeons.
As you fight in your wars, think of others.

Don’t forget those who desperately demand peace.

As you pay your water bill, think of others

who drink the cloud's rain.
As you return home, your home, think of others.

Don’t forget those who live in tents.
As you sleep and count planets, think of others.

There are people without any shelter to sleep.
As you express yourself using all metaphorical expressions,

think of others who lost their rights to speak.
As you think of others who are distant,

think of yourself and say:

I wish I was a candle to fade away the darkness.

by Mahmoud Darwish
