Life 101

The art of living is mastered
by knowing how far to go
and then going a little farther
A nail sticking up gets hammered
so, holding the wood together is a goal
and after planing, several mounds its able to gather

Don't be blown by the turbulent winds of humanity
Don't let uneventful events define your moments
Live like everyday you're born anew
If you live by the world's insanity
or dwell on its casting ceaseless comments
you'd be bidding too quickly an adieu
