A person fails to follow the advice of a wise man and with much regret ends up sowing seeds that were bad.

You sow seeds

Except the ones

That mattered most

- – -

So when it was time

To reap

There were no fruits

That were important

Nor uplifting

 - – -

Because you lacked faith

You settled

For things that were

Second rate

- – -

Now you moan

And groan over

Your bad judgement

- – -

If you had followed

My advice

You would have prospered

More than you 

Could imagine

    We all make wrong turns. It’s all a matter of turning around or getting back on the right road. Some people get caught up in the mistake, rather than the lesson they learned about navigation.

    In this case, the person fails because he didn’t follow a good advice. What is more painful is that one fails and become miserable because he follows a bad advise. There are wicked people who don’t want to see their “friend” succeed.
