Life Advice Number 4

 Life Advice Number 4



(A lone voice whispers)


Beware of green eyes

For they could covet your world


Sometimes subtle


Sometimes smiling 

Hoping you'll struggle


For they appear in so many diverse forms


From married couples

To those in your immediate bubble


So as you hustle whilst avoiding life's many deep puddles 


Always smile at those with green eyes


For a life filled with subtle rebuttals


They use as a cudgel


Is a sad life as they watch the good folk in the world


Aspire and rise 

With those twinkling green eyes
