Poetic-Verses
'' Otherwise It's Yourself You Have Failed ''
Growing up we gain knowledge from our masters,
We live by what they teach,
Not all wounds can be cured with plasters,
Always practise what you preach.
Your existence is determined by what you learn,
It's about decisions and whom they affect,
Failure to achieve this should be your main concern,
As bad choices can leave a life wrecked.
Listen to those who've been around the course,
Distinguish what's right from wrong,
From truth and reality you must never divorce,
That's how you learn where you belong.
None of us are born with evil intent,
It's dependent on what we are taught,
Learn to decipher exactly what's meant,
As there are some things which cannot be bought.
It's not a crime to show contrition,
If you do you make others aware,
For your future you have an ambition,
To let others know that you care.
Never be selfish don't ever be cruel,
Respect what others have to say,
Be true to yourself and don't be a fool,
Your conscience is forever on display.
You must never believe you know it all,
The problem is none of us do,
Look before you leap or you'll surely fall,
Seek the answer before seeing the task through.
Never expect someone to carry out a task,
You wouldn't complete yourself,
Arrogance can be a dangerous mask,
You could find yourself left on the shelf.
Always own up when you've made a mistake,
Lying does affect the soul,
It's a crucial decision we all have to take,
Otherwise you'll end up in a hole.
Try to exceed your own expectations,
Fight your difficulties head on,
Challenges are of many creations,
Face them and soon they'll be gone.
Your teachers wishes are for you to thrive,
You doing well is their sole intention,
Seeing you flourish is what keeps them alive,
Never forget they merit a mention.
To surpass your masters should be your aim,
We were put on this Earth to achieve,
Life is real it is not a game,
In your potential you've got to believe.
Life is for learning from those in the know,
Listen well and your future will be unveiled,
Show wisdom and forethought and your stature will grow,
