You either learn from your mistakes
or become better at making them.

The mark of a true fool
Is not the lack of knowledge,
But the firm belief that he has
Nothing left to learn.

Fast lane or slow lane-
A life driven from the backseat
Is equally sure to crash.

Time well spent is good investment
Time wasted in good company
Is, thankfully, much the same.

When we are fed with lies
We lose our taste for truth.
We growl and moan at our starving kin,
As we march so hungry into the grinding teeth of war.

Idiocy is not inherent;
It is, altogether more terrifyingly, habitual.

Impatience burns away our youth,
Angers demand their toll.
Lies **** the trusting heart,
And secrets dye the soul.

To perfect paradise
We are, too often, sent hellbound.

It's hard not to be full of ****
When your head is up your ***.

Were I a stronger boy, I would've fought for less.
Were I a wiser fool, I would've played more chess.
Were I a richer man, I would not have such debt.
Were my life a boring one, I would not have regret.

None have too little
If bold enough to share;

With only love for oneself
You'll have none to spare.

Hypocrisy is its own critique.
