My friend, there is so much inside your brain <br />But don’t let your knowledge be brought to vain. <br />Pride is there seeking to destroy your day <br />But my friend never let it block your way. <br />Never tell that you possess all knowledge <br />And never escape from protection’s hedge. <br />Hold your tongue if holding it is needed. <br />Be humble and you’ll always be splendid. <br />All who are wise can still say, “I don’t know” <br />If the required answer they cannot show. <br />It is never foolish to say you’re wrong <br />Because admission can make you stand strong. <br />Let’s show the world what intelligence is. <br />Let’s oppose deception’s philosophies.<br /><br />Obed dela Cruz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/be-wise-my-friend/
