kassem oude - Adages

It is said adage is prophet
The fruit of long expertise
On life's stage we collect
Some to praise some to tease

They're our counseling teachers
To guide people in straight way
They convince, firm features
Easy to retain even to say

To prove view lawyer resorts
Wise men to brethren preach
For ethics they're immune fort
Obey them high rank you'll reach

They are short and have rhyme
Yet have great sense and effect
Composed them muse sublime
They exist in nations' intellect

Remember proverbs are proven
So close your eyes and abide
Heart and mind become open
Virtue strolls along your side.
