Nuggets Of Wisdom.No.2. If Unbridled

Rating: 5.0


IF UNBRIDLED

Passion should be checked by reason
Without letting it grow into an obsession
Unless tempered by moderation
It may develop into an agitation

Be it for power, pelf, wine or woman

If untrammeled, like a steed unbridled
It may shake you off your straddle
And toss you down from your saddle
To be trampled like a thing so frail n’ brittle!

The wisdom embedded in this great poem must always be put to heart. Great metaphor and superb imagery to inculcate in the mind that passion must always be tempered with reason. Statistics show that one of the primary reasons of man's downfall is we let our passion rules our action. Beautifully crafted and well expressed write.
