OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE OBSERVATIONS ON LIFE...

He that lies and swindles all, and lies to himself too,
Alas! He knoweth not my friends,he swindles himself too.

He to himself who is true, and keeps his conscience clear,
Forever he shall joyous be, and nothing he shall fear.

He who only knows to take, and does not know to give,
He merely lives through his life blasé, not learning to live.

Befriend him not who speaketh foul, and bad about his friends,
For he shall speak but foul of you, once that you are friends.

He that shareth not his joy, shall have no one to share
his pain, for alone he shall be, his loneliness to bear.

He who walks through life selfishly, shall not walk very far;
his greed shall hold him back as if, he walked on wet, black tar.

He who cheats the one who trusts him, shall be on the morrow,
cheated by him whom he trusteth and shall be in sorrow.

He who talks behind your back, shall one day perceive,
That only what he giveth to all, shall he too receive.

So listen you all for I the poet, have observed this,
He who honest, selfless lives, a joyous life is his!  ¶ 3:30 AM
