You once told me

You wanted to find

Yourself in the world -

And I told you to

First apply within,

To discover the world

within you.

You once told me

You wanted to save

The world from all its wars -

And I told you to

First save yourself

From the world,

And all the wars

You put yourself

Through. ― Suzy Kassem
