Advice
I often speculate the worth of advice
A conversation's progenitor, it's seasoning its spice
I accede that words often do wonders
For the weak mind which easily buckles and surrenders
To the charms of a mischievous sprite, nothing more
Which wants the flight of appreciation and gladly soar
Above the sadness of the one in pain
Egotistic satisfaction is advice's aim and gain
Motivated by nothing but a simple desire
To play with the feelings of a hopeless admirer
Who longs for words of hope, imparting confidence
Assurances of success and imminent affluence
Hopeless! To expect such honest blessings
From a tormenter with no real considerations
For advice is a vice grown out of superiority
To be falsely alluring to the mind mired in depravity
Away! You fiend, you deceitful foe
Displaying
optimism but dire at the core

Saurabh Saklani
