WORDS OF WISDOM (September 2016 version)

***

The words of wisdom…
How frantically easy
It is to be giving advice,
To judge, to assume, to assess
What others go through,
What you’ll never possess.
We say what is true
To us, not to others.
We act like we know it,
And don’t even bother
To fix our problems
And live our lives.
We simply forget
Where our own path lies.

It bothers me greatly
To be of that kind.
Quite often and strong,
With devotion, with passion
About ideas, beliefs,
Observance of somebody’s grieves
Leads me to a certain conclusion:
My truth is a senseless illusion.
I’m blindly forcing my views
While fracturing views of others.
I’m heartlessly led to destroy
A dream of a precious creation.
Like Greeks killed the City of Troy—

Its once living and Godly nation.
