MIND YOUR PROGRESS


...by Poetic Tee "Here, take a sip"

If only
people would mind their business
they'll make so much progress in life
Unfortunately, most simply don't.

Rather
they pay attention on others' affairs
dwelling for aye on end, on them
wasting precious or not so, time.

By the time
they tire of the engagement
dropping it for yet another
their own interests suffer gross neglect.

Basic reason
why many don't make progress
why their lot is a celebration of lack
why their today robs them of a better next.

Should they ask themselves
what gains are made, carrying such burdens
like a books laden donkey, standing
none is the vain Indulgence's cost.

Think they, a waste of our time
what irony! What foolhardy!
so, eavesdropping is no waste
yet self-appraisal is? What holy!

Of reasoning faculty man employs
which one does he the more enjoys
intuition, speculation or aberration? "asara, sarar iska." Loss is the benefit, incurred.
