Life teaches you a lot. <br />When you get in a FIX you lean on FACTS <br />don't mistake healing medicine for narcotics <br />When you get PRAISED, let your soul get RAISED <br />never trade your ego to pessimist lunatics <br />when things get SLOW, let your energies BLOW <br />Don't get screwed because you panic <br /> <br />Life denies you a lot. <br />so PICK the most wanted, but never FREAK angels <br />those guides may mean to you a shining <br />you FLAME your little light, but don't BLAME your giant evils <br />remember your errors have no scientific meaning <br />EMPLOY your efforts and always DEPLOY your feeling <br />just style your work, and always smile when freezing <br /> <br />Life betrays always <br />KEEP your walking stick, DIP your broken limbs <br />beat the ground when aging massage your own wounds <br />At times, FILL their pretenses with real love, and you'll always DRILL treasure <br />but mind your soft head, secrets are protective hoods <br />Don't STRAY in stranger hearts, never PLAY in gold coated fields <br />This is how life rhymes always keep in tune!<br /><br />Timothy muggaga<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/21-lessons-for-a-21-year-old/
