Poetry
A mocker does not appreciate,
A warning that you would relate;
For he will not follow the wise,
In fact he would rather despise.
A glad heart makes a cheerful face,
That the love of others embrace;
But a heartache brings depression,
And prayers bring good intercession.
The mind of one, who understands,
Searches knowledge in fertile lands;
But the mouth of a fool just feeds,
On a barren land that has weeds.
It is always an awful day,
If you do not trust and obey;
But a cheerful heart feels at least,
A happy stomach from the feast.
Best for a little than a lot,
With fear of the Lord that you got;
Than great treasure and turmoil,
Having arguments that toil.
Have some vegetables thereof,
Where there is joy and there is love;
Than juicy steaks where there is hate,
And temptation lures you with bait.
A wrathful man is like a thorn,
Pain that was felt when you were born;
Someone who holds anger is cool,
He calms disputes and not a fool.
Lazy people are like potholes,
That are trying to trip lost souls;
But the upright make a highway,
Straight and narrow never to stray.
