The one who is truly wise,
Will accept all the commands;
The foolish talk in disguise,
And ignores any demands.
Whoever lives honestly,
Will profit in fruitful lives;
But living dishonestly,
Are filled with deceit and lies.
Whoever winks with his eye,
A heartache for another;
Talking foolishly will lie,
Not supporting his brother.
The mouth of any righteous,
Will be the fountain of life;
A wicked mouth is vicious,
Concealed with fury of strife.
Hate will always start quarrels,
And is powerfully strong;
For trapping you through its snarls,
But love will cover the wrong.
Wisdom is found on the lips,
Someone with understanding;
Like the coffee that he sips,
Soothing to the demanding.
Those who are wise store knowledge,
To increase intuition;
A fool will not acknowledge,
Will be inviting ruin.
The righteous has a reward,
At when they have left this life;
Gone to Heaven with the Lord,
Leaving behind any strife.
If you practice discipline,
Within your daily living;
You shall be without the sin,
That the foolish keep giving.
Sin is unavoidable,
When there has been too much talk;
That God holds accountable,
Through the ticking of your clock.
