The Adages Of A Sage Poem by Adams King

Learn what you don't know and know what you learn
There are some scriptures forbidden to be read

Make an enmity between your ears and your tongue
Not every lyrics you hear is good for a song

Don't be surprised when told what's hidden in your mouth
For the teeth that bit the tongue lives in the mouth

Beauty is a deceitful mask and dangerous are her looks
For a finer picture plays a smatter crook

Better is a faithful and dignified slave in your home
Than a prostitute as queen on your throne

Make a wise choice and make your choice be wise
For little mistakes makes you pay a greater price

A death hidden in many bottles kills the drunkard
An illness hidden in patience kills the sluggard

Not every whitish substance from a mans manhood forms a baby
Not every swollen stomach of a woman
holds a baby

Age is but a pressing pressure upon a mans shoulder
The earlier you learn it's never too late nor early the better

Dogs that bark are only been feared by children
But dogs that's bite are feared by men

Not every eyes that's sees the sun rises
sees it set
There is foolishness in wisdom's deepest
depth

A nail desiring to go through the timbers
Must be ready to feel the pressure of the hammer

A sharpened mind is better than a sharpened knife
Do not purchase death to sell your life
