Advice
often times we shall miss it
due to undying drive for speed
quick answers what we solicit
the right questions what we need
there is plenty of good advice
to be found in books we read
wisdom gained at so little price
from wise people we should heed
be it Dao, Christ or Ghandi
all had the same basic notion
always keep the truth handy
subjectify your emotions
try harder to treat others
as we hope to be treated
like true sisters and brothers
not those we want defeated
Archimedes led the way
useful knowledge seek
work toward a better day
don’t be an antique
