Heeding The Wisdom Of Ancient Sages
Spit on the blinded world in denial
walking hastily the straight and narrow.
Waste not time drinking from poison vial
plant destiny's seeds with better harrow.
Preparing the soil in its sweet splendor
never wasting time in useless pleasures.
Achieve something great to children render
other than usual earthly treasures.
Waking to morn's glow by the sun's bright light
heeding the wisdom of ancient sages.
Find your mountain, climb to its greatest height
looking downward and backward through the ages.
Spit on the blinded world in denial.
Waste not time drinking from poison vial.
