Advice Poem by Victor Sklyarov

Advice



Solitude is what we seek when we are young.
Loneliness is what we get when we're old.
Most dreams when implemented seem like dung
That's what Ecclesiast for us foretold.

I have a piece of wisdom for the youth,
Anticipate you won't follow it though,
When someone says he has another truth
Beware cajolery - it's Goddamn zone.

Don't ever you dare to dream about sin,
But when involved, please recollect illusions,
Remember who has put you in that bin
And don't further jump to the conclusions.

You have a chance - we always have a chance -
To look in past to see survived through years
And scrutinize the values you enhance.
Then make compares.
