Knowledge that you gain,
Must be put to proper use,
Foolishly make it not drain,
Ways to use it, please peruse,
To get knowledge, if you strain,
Wisdom will come to enthuse,
Train minding not the pain,
Chain with truth your brain,
Attain holy bliss to keep fine,
Heart and brain must cooperate,
And assist in a healthy living,
Setbacks mustn't exasperate,
Though snags, fate will be giving,
By being careful and considerate,
Love this world by ever forgiving!
