One who knows how,
when and what to speak,
where and why to be quiet,
in all humility grows strong
to reign the wild horses
galloping in mind’s racecourse.

Such a proficiency allows
the whispers of the conscience
to be clearly heard with
a clarity of risk and reward,
for wise execution of actions
in every pursuit of life.

It trashes deranged impressions
that cause distressful delusions.
