Who Is the Wise Man
When your deeds are high why worry; keep your heads high
Many may ditch you; few may follow you; if not walk alone
Do not go by what others do; Appreciate not for seeking theirs
Respect is what you earn, futile to solicit it from others
Need not follow the disappearing trends, recommend the best
Be the judge for you, respond to criticism; do not hate others
Ignore those who hate you, forget those who own up their mistakes
Guidance is how you seek, who is the wise man? – find them in others
The path you walk will be charted by you; expect not from others
When your deeds are high why not keep your heads high
Many may ditch you; few may follow you; if not walk alone
There are many like you, keep walking; the world is bound to follow you.
