Insight

Light of darkness; shadow of light;
dimmed the wits of mortal men...
Grave the dangers, endless blight;
nothing insatiates mans lust for them.

Power begets corruption, distrust enforces hatred;
wisdom never embodies the haughty and bold!
Ruin comes after pride, prejudice is its mistress;
turning all you have learned and suffered to fools gold!

Rubbish eats its own legs; gravel entombs his fields;
those who sow lies, never rest, nor go empty of reap.
Fake friends betray themselves, true loose the shield;
defending more important than perseverance for keeps.

Establishment crumbles - many bricks can't keep up;
many debts bankrupt, much vinegar rots tooth!
A thousand friends more worth than the bling and buck;
how many would understand the wisemen's sooth?

Only a stone falls easy, dead fish swim without relent;
hardship is proof of living, just not always the right...
Seek justice, but not notice - avoid the fervent;
passion sometimes like flu - inflammatory blight!

What is your insight? What is your want?
Success is an attitude, dost not seek wisdom!
Those who want "Prevail!" don't listen to: "You can't!"
all they can fathom is Country and Fandom!

Seek bounties beyond sight and riches yonder grasp;
that will succeed those who journey for riches!
Kingdoms fall and nations degrade - alas;
only safe haven shall fare for those like the bitches!

Wisdom is not safe, knowledge not always sane;
intellect rarely sound, included by titles and valor.
It's not sought after by glory, its not looked upon fame;
lore don't keep good accounting of, nor is it kept in a manor!

Head back, if you wish to fare well - dost who seeks wisdom -
abandon is all what awaits, if you should proceed your endeavor!
Those who hope to get immortalized in life - this dumb!
Better looking for window dressings or nice garments wore...
