Prayer.

God praise he who sits alone; for he takes his time to know himself; who he is, and what it is that he does. Do not offer your services to the lonely man. He does not need you and is probably better off without. He has more than you could ever offer him and one day he may share it with you. you will be in need.

absolutely!

arrogence pervades people more than they'd like to admit sometimes, it is often the arrogent that push the boundaries. still, it remains mostly unwanted. i have no probs with publishing an arrogent poem here or there as they are heavily outweighed with self beat-up poems in my existing repertoire. i am glad at very least it allowed something to stream out of you.

Inner Wisdom

This poem conveys the truth, that we need not read books or chase after gurus to know the truth. Your poem says what is needed, and in an uncomplicated way. It is a meditation on inner wisdom and were to find it. Lenny
