Histakel

i
Always use sin-screen:
Remember your source
Know your destination
Who do you answer to?
The ultimate I sees
Supersonic ear hears
Your story writes itself

This poem references the Sun Screen song based on a graduation speech - so the story goes. It's a combo of the statements of Rebbe and Akavia ben Mehalalel about what three things to look at and then not come to sin.

Anyone catch any of that?

I liked this poem. I especially like the poems that you write which include your own peirush in them rather than straight translations! The connection of the song and the Avot goes so well because isn't most of Avot about our preparing us for out final graduation to Olam Haemet by teaching us how to act in Olam Hazeh? Have a great Shabbos!
