The Wise Man's Way

a wise man speaks

with actions loud

and words soft

a wise man accepts

when he is wrong

criticism when well placed

but never words unquestioned

a wise man sees

beauty in even the simplest of things

simplicity in the most complex

unity amongst difference

and elegance in the everyday

a wise man knows

to speak when needed but never too much

to ask well and answer rightly

when a hand should be held out,

when a fist should be raised

to show off, is a fool's glory

thus, is the wise man's way

You are a wise young man. Excellent read and write.

Good job man, we should all try to be more like this. Reminds me of a quote of Charles Bukowski:"“Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.”

This is great! I love the repetition.
