Sonnet: The Need For Wisdom

How further lies can lead you to success? How longer can you dupe the world around? How can a lazy person get prowess? How can mere paper-work improve the ground? Realities will speak the truth some day; Just truth prevails in every sphere of life; Pretence will get unfolded in some way; Intelligence can't block on-coming strife! 'Tis better veering to the side of truth; One's honesty prevents catastrophe; Just camouflage can't hide a poison fruit; All human beings sincere ought to be! Short-cuts can't yield the fame, name one intends; Perseverance with aim, success portends. Copyright by Dr John Celes 2-2-2015
