Trying To Be Clever

Trying to be clever to put someone down 
Is the worst intelligence that of a clown,
To seek opportunity in trying to be clever
Is dull wisdom indeed now and forever,
Help where you can and take no praise
Help each other when we have our sad days
See people benefit from what you have done
On this earth we share under
The same moon 
Under the same sun.
