Another Unfinished Song Becomes a Poem Instead…
Nevermind the scholars
Nevermind what’s said
Mind your mother and your father
Though they won’t always know what’s best
Never lie, for starters
And never say, “It’s too hard”
Listen to the cricket
Singing to the beat of your heart
Nevermind the castles
Just make enough for bread
Let your adversaries eat cake
Never let them in your head
Nevermind the giant
He’s only just a man
When you see that you’re a lion
Be kind to all the lambs
Nevermind the preacher
The answers are inside
The reaper is a linguist
Who survives on mourning tithes
Nevermind your teachers
Learn what you truly want
The devil bears false witness
To everything you’re taught
It’s good to know a language
In case you have something to say
It’s good to know some science
To know that everything will always change
It’s good to know some history
So you don’t make the same dumb mistakes
It’s good to know mathematics
To count the ones you make along the way
Give every moment your full attention
Always give more than you get
Don’t give anyone what they ask for
They’ll eat what they are fed
Take lots of chances
But do not become a fool
These are just some guidelines
Now go and make up your own rules
