Read, read, read, read,
it makes you strong,
and not so weak.
Read, read, read, read,
it makes you wise,
and not so stupid.
Read, read, read, read,
it makes you happy
and not so bleak.
Read, read, read, read,
it makes you satiated
and not so greedy.
Read, read, read, read,
it makes you calm
and not so rude.
Read, read, read, read,
it makes you close to God
and not so badly proud.
Read, read, read, read,
it makes you appreciate
and not so simple a being.
Read, read, read, read,
it makes you a human
and not a part of the crowd.
- SARGUN SAINI
