The Mentor

Righteousness expressed in struggle’s ply, comes shining in a single lifetimes chance; From life’s shadows dim a gift will rise, explicit in one solemn watcher’s glance; Prosperity’s plex is so placed in hand, but fortune’s bless those blind deny; Bliss from one’s valid efforts blocked, results in stress and tears from failure’s fry; Delivered not is the finisher’s fee, collected is butt, and not success’ pride; Covertly served is an effort’s worthy try, reward, is goodness, and a steady upheld bide; Worth’s weight, the lowest hanging bough, when weighed by the thinker that seeks to vide; Value thus, when shared is given gratefully, without the thoughts of a profiteering mind; Presents to those of worldly wiles, one dilemma, upon which the fool will find; Clarity flexed removing one’s clouds of doubt, what “gold” then mined, supplies a lifelong tithe; Fulfillment is extract cast from nature’s whey, nourishment enough for every creature’s clime; Surely now greed can be wholly sacrificed, and stress from the chase of cash be slimed; Follows simple logic does this gist, that once given a gift, the bearer of such will shy, Away from snide and lowly self-intent, and allow a higher thought to clear life’s cloudy skies; From unknown facts, to time’s knowledge let, each giver grants to all their generous boon; Transgressions pushed aside are but truths to whet, when honed by honesty, and in divinity hewn; Hold these ‘truths’ expressed, prove mind’s suppress, can be cleared for all, and not spent as garbage strewn.
