Wisdom Of A Sage Poem by John Sensele

Manage each page of your life with the wisdom of a sage
Lest rife strife strikes bikes in your life in one sweep
Grown with rare tare to convulse the pulse of your age
Thrown to the dogs in bogs that at night creep and weep.

Manage each second in your life as if each bond you spurn
Could reckon how many conmen you've rescued
From rats trapped in deep recesses of faces that won't burn
No matter how many times crimes in their lives stewed.

Manage each kiss in your life with ripe appreciation
Lest osculators should modulate intimacies and caresses
They dot on you when dot your I's and cross your T's in adulation
Broken only by whispers spoken softening your senses.

Manage each opportunity in your life as if divinities
On you poured stores of gold ores threefold
To lift scales from your roving eyes in swift infinities
Calculated and inoculated with wisdom fourfold.
