Be Wiser Poem by Freeyad Ibrahim

Be Wiser



by Freeyad Ibrahim

don't talk until your time comes rapidly
and when you talk, begin to talk gently

don't talk to the assembly aloud
only the donkeys bray loudly

don't answer until you are asked
don't eat until you are hungry

don't talk while you are angry
you may disclose secretes blankly

don't befriend a stupid person
the character of him is a germ
spreads very soon, hastily

make friends only to good people
the company of the good person
begets good, frankly

while the company of bad people
begets evil, stoutly

it is like the wind, exactly
if it passes through good,
it carries good, soundly
and if it passes through filthy,
it carries us stench horribly!
