Give Up or Fight

What is the difference between human and animal, askes the old man.
While putting his nose into the newspaper.
Human thinks and does, animal reacts by instict
I answer, thinking that i answered as smart as possible.
Human regrets after a mistake, animal does not.
I add, wondering if i impress the old man.
Human has faith and love, but not the animal.
I summarize myself in the end.

I couldn't tell everything in a few minutes,
Cause of less information and experience.
I wouldn't compare my knowledge with his,
Cause of less time spending on the earth.

The old man looks into my eyes deeply,
'Young man, young man' he says quietly and slowly.
Be proud and don't give up, says he strongly.
Confused with his words and the question,
I don't know what exactly he wants to say.
Struggled with his words and the question,
I wouldn't know that he looks through my whole life.
Give up or Fight, remember i the title of the article,
In the front page of newspaper, recall i the first.
'Don't give up and live strong' hear i my brother's voice.
Just like in my childhood, i hear my brother's voice over and over.
Do i give up, what makes you think i do, why...
Questions come down on my head when i sit alone in the train.
Realizing that i am alone, i wonder if i am allright.
Yes, i am. No i am not.

Thoughts wave away from my mind all of sudden.
I feel better not knowing old man's existance.
'Young man, young man' the old man says,
I wouldn't hear it, oh man oh man.
Human regrets after a mistake, says the old man.
But does human recognize when mistake is made, askes the old man.
Oh man, oh man I wouldn't hear it.
That's my next mistake made.
