Temet Nosce

Temet Nosce

by: Shaffi A. Karimah

Like a wolf

which always protects a home,

and resembles to Jane Eyre by Mrs. Bronte

who became strong after the night.

Like a crab

which is in a friendship with sparks,

and resembles to Miss Havisham by Mr. Dickens

who destroyed the beauty of sunrise easily.

Like a bridge

which becomes unifying a head to another heads,

and resembles to Gatsby by Mr. Fitzgerald

who became stronger at dawn.

Like a head of pig

which just looks ahead without caring what is said by others,

and resembles to Minny Jackson by Mrs. Stockett

who pointed the palms of his hands on someone's face.

Temet Nosce…

Ask the mirror who you are.

Temet Nosce…

Ask the mirror what you look like.
