Advice, or Avarice?

[Otakon he/him]

I'm really not too sure what this is doing here--whether the author was looking for a critique or whether (s)he meant this as words of advice or what. I'll leave the post up for now in case the author wants to access it again, but close the topic.

It is through words that we share

It is through words we say we care

It is true that words can reach

It is true that words can teach

Knowledge through words we will show

Because of that knowledge we will grow

So go, go pull out your quills, partchment and chance

Fear not the sweat, blood, ink and dust upon your pants

Fear not the written word

Fear not the many 'Ideas Absurd'

If you open your ears you will hear the many say

Opinion and snide remarks to do it their way

Write on

These words you should not ignore

Surprisingly, these words can help all you know even more

Words of hate offer many strange clues

Do not allow them to give you the blues

The hate of others, strange lessons they teach

From those new ideas, concepts, knowledge shall you breed and reach

Do not ignore them or run and hide

Do not take their words as a hurt inside

Read their words and have the courage to say:

"It is interesting how my ideas are viewed that way."

So fear not new ideas and those with foul cries

Use such views to see your work with fresh eyes

Ever Learning

Take the time to consider your pride

See how strong it is, do you need to set it aside?

They say: 'Pride Goeth Before the Fall'

Not only true for the one, but for the all

Throw not away any advise, the bad or the good

All provide your thoughts with a very fertile food

New ideas, New Views, New Directions to go

See were they take you, see how you grow

My lessons for you now are done

Now go, go and have your fun

Just a last bit of advice you should know;

Pass on your knowledge, help others to grow.

Have the courage to read on

Allow new ideas to write on

Never forget we are forever learning
