To Hear Or Not To Hear

As we have two hearing aids on each side of our head so to gain good advice and wisdom but do we submit to what's said? Much good counsel comes to us so much more we throw away we bring trouble upon ourselves by treating such as straw bailed hay We remember our mothers repeated word are you listening to me? so often saying yes but thinking no by doing so turning the wrong key As we look back over life much more would have been our gain if we had listened with greater attention so to fill richness to our brain Human nature has that nasty bias to want what feeds only self such is our distorted mind it couldn't be anyone else
