"Do not let others believe what you can achieve, but achieve what you believe."


Let's not criticize,
but critique with open eyes.

Let's not help,
but aid without guilt.

Let's not walk,
but briskly move.

Let's not follow,
but patiently pursue.

Let's not hear,
but quietly listen.

Let's not shine bright,
but gallantly glisten.

Let's....
Be different.


The author's comments:
My teacher was trying to explain that critique and criticize were two different things. And i thought it was funny because critique is the French word for criticize

It’s simple, sweat, and too the point, which is pleasant to read. I like the consistent pattern of the poem, until the ending. Putting "let's be different" at the end was a nice touch- it tied the ending of the poem together. It also makes the reader think about for a second.
