May you build a cottage of clay, wattles and hay

Or erect a palatial, towering concrete mansion;

Must you first call an able architect to lay

A flawless, firm and lasting foundation.

May you never use an unacceptable Excuse

To camouflage a careless folly or a fault avoidable;

A candid and remorseful admission leads you to perfection,

Your rigid arrogance and obstinacy push you into an abyss abominable.

May you never hide a lie under the hoods of another lie

It may rain on you fleeting pleasures and fictitious felicity

It may enlarge your momentary aura and enhance your sham popularity

For, you mistake then landing on a heavenly realm being really docked in a sty!
