Don't be a fool if you can help it

When somebody goes out of their way,

to warn you of something bad to come,

what will you do?



run away.

ask a little mermaid or wood sprite

for help to solve your problem.



unless it eventually catches up to you.



deny it.

it is not there. it never was. it never will be.

it was only your imagination.



unless reality hits you hard someday.



collide with it.

meet this monster halfway, or take the full.

it does not matter, it solves everything.



unless it is too much for you to handle.



dont be a fool if you can help it



only with courage can you solve the unthinkable puzzles.

only with strength can you withold the most obstinate of monsters.

only with endurance can you withstand life.



stop and think.

intelligence is the key to understanding.

understanding is the doorway to endurance.

endurance is the hallway to life.

life is your home.

I enjoyed this poem so much. I would have to agree, The majority of humanity's problems are due to stupidity.
