Wise Counsel

Stillness and stagnation

These spell D. E. A. T. H.

They give way to dynamism

What compells you

In trust you invest

What do you withdraw

Expectations measured

I may be able to raise your hopes

I may not

Life is sure to dash so many

'Check yourself before you wreck yourself'

I'm not saying lower the bar

In fact I'm suggesting you raise it

Anticipate challenges and match them

With the right pre-emptive skepticism

Ignorance is bliss

But naivity is just fucking embarrassing

Bet you didn't see that coming

Guess you need to work on the unexpected

Don't settle for the status quo

We live above quicksand here
