Poetry

---

The one who is truly wise,
Accepts commands with his eyes;
But one who foolishly talks,
Will just stumble where he walks.

Whoever honestly lives,
His mind easily forgives;
But who lives dishonestly,
Is filled with iniquity.

Whoever winks with his eye,
Causes heartache makes you cry;
A righteous man speaks the truth,
Never rude or be uncouth.

Righteous men are full of life,
Never burdened with the strife;
But violence causes evil,
Encumbered by the devil.

Hate will always start quarrels,
That can tamper with morals;
But love covers all things wrong,
So the hate will not prolong.

Wisdom is found on the tongue,
That the Word of God is flung;
From a man who understands,
Of what the Father demands.

The wise man will store knowledge,
Because he will acknowledge;
That the one true God is King,
Lord of all for praise we sing.

The righteous harvests a yield,
Reap ample life from their field;
But the evil harvests sin,
That corrupts as stored within.

Whoever has discipline,
Their life will be free from sin;
Whoever wanders away,
Ignores the Lord not to stray.

One who conceals lying lips,
Poison fills their cup he sips;
Carries out an evil plan,
For harming his fellow man
