[title] => Should virtue attend your path?
[time] => 2004-10-04 12:33:44
[hometext] => This poem is all about how human kind should restrain itself from unnecessary activities. This poem also highlights what are all the benfits that come out of self-control
[bodytext] => Have self-control to gain the bliss, that immortals share With indulgence, it leads to darkness and leaves us there Like wealth, guard the power of self-control That gives the greatest gain to living soul If your wisdom`s lore is the cause of self-restrain The self-repression when known will yield glory`s gain Being in one`s position, determined and can self subdue Your pride rises higher than the mountain`s view Remaining humble to obtain others grace, but chief to one Is the fortune blessing and the fortune`s crown As the tortoise, if one has the five restrains Bliss from the seven worlds, is what the person obtains Greater self-control on lips, should the person keep For fault of tongue, bitter tears should weep For a lie, even the gain be small that it brings This evil word, is parent still of evil things Flesh inflamed by fire, has nature to heal the sore But the soul inflamed by tongue, heals nevermore One who learns to restrain and guards his soul from wrath Has virtue, as a timely aid to attend his path.
