Before and After

 Before you exalt, confess; before you praise, mourn.

For life's not about, who plays better chess;

some nuts play poker on the pool-table in bliss,

others shadowbox in the cemetery in duress.


Nobody on Heaven and Earth was born,

like a star, to rise even higher - God bless!

Don't you know: Stars shall fall and kingdoms falter,

lords and ladies loose their crown.


So don't be haughty for the divine scorn;

raise your standards and lift up the sky!

You are the pillar, on which the Heavens are bestowed;

don't you know, ye gods, while drawing your last - Bow

For your soul is from God and not your own.
