Be Wise And Prudent Poem by Dr John Celes

When we’re alive, we do not care for health;
Our life gets spent in accruing more wealth;
Though better things are there for us to do,
We fail to use the wisdom in time due.

The modern world isn’t ‘sense of values’ based;
The hunt for lucre steals away our time;
Good deeds and virtues seldom find more place;
Death strikes surprisingly most human folk.

Some persons live today can reach the past;
No one predicts when death, the thief will strike;
Our neighbors, friends, relatives could cease fast;
We must live therefore expecting our death.

The state of soul is primary in life;
Just good and bad we do, we take with us;
Almighty God rewards each one’s good deeds;
Our wisdom prudence needs a place firstly.
