I can't speak and write english soo good can you help me guys? Thanks!

These are the stanzas that im going to ask to you guys if you can provide some explanation each stanzas thanks in advance!

57
Listen to what your common sense
tells you all day: "Life is short.
You have nothing in commom with plants
that will grow again
after being pruned."

58
Empty orators and silent scholars
died without having understood Being and non-Being.
Ignorants, my brothers, let us continue tasting
the juice of the grape attentively and let
the authorities satisfy themselves
with dry raisins.

59
My birth didn't add anything
to the universe. My death will not detract
anything from its infinite greatness. No one
could ever explain to me why I came here,
why I will leave again.

60
We shall perish
along the path of Love.
Fate will trample us. Yeah, tempting
young woman, get up and give me your lips
before I return to dust.

64
Sit down and drink!
You will experience a happiness
that Mahmoud never knew. Listen to the
melodies lovers play on their lute; these are the
real psalms of David. Don't concern yourself with
the future or the past but savour this moment.
That's the secret of inner peace.

88
Open yourself, my friend,
to every smell and colour and sound.
Caress every women. Remind yourself that life
is short and that soon you will be buried
in soil, no matter how you have lived.

Question: In the poem "The Tyger" by William Blake, the poet questions God's creation of the Tyger, what is Blake's point to question God?

He's trying to find out about the universe. The tiger is a very frightening animal. He's trying to understand how the same God that made the gentle "lamb" (both the literal baby sheep, and the metaphorical Christ) could make such a fierce animal. In the course of the poem he may not actually come to an answer: he's still working it out.

And in the process of writing it, he may inspire his readers to also think about the awsomeness and amazing diversity of the universe.

Question: Someone who know the poet 'Lawrence tirno'?

Hello.
I live in a non-English speaking countries.
I tried to translate the poem . The poet '' Lawrence tirno ".
Locate the original .
But I did not find a paraphrase and lack of English skills.
( I did not find even a poet called 'Lawrence tirno'. so, In my opinion , the name of the poet was wrong.)
So if you find the poem that contains the following content .

(sorry, the content received with the help of translator.)

-----------------
"Sleepless people"

If all the people that make me go to sleep, never home park.
hundred of people, thousand of people, or million of people- thay tell the story together in the park like a wave.

(omission, story about example.)

If they are all as one of the waves
If they came out of their homes
moonlight shining on their away
so they gather in the park
If they tell the story of each other
If so
lest humanity is more difficult to live
or the world is a more beautiful place

can people live a more wonderful life
or lest more lonely

I ask you
If they came to the park and tell each other
more brilliant than the sun look like another day
and i ask you
then they hug each other
