Friendship.......... Poem by Luo Zhihai

誼方

趨炎奉勢皆圖利
報德還恩已坐忘
夢寐初衷音自好
風塵豈意路偏長
聞思樂善能身正
戒定施仁系嗣芳
古聖名賢多守道
諸生捷徑顧圜牆


Friendship

Original intention in the dream
sounds very good
Unexpectedly in wind and dust
the road is very long
Flattering and clinging to powerful people
for desire to make money or profit
Repay kindness
but they have forgotten

Listening to the true
giving alms happily
we can do good things as examples
Discipline oneself
donation of benevolence
for fragrant to descendants
The ancient sages observed morality
Many guys took shortcuts in prison
