Listening To Wise Counsel

Some folks listen, some will not.
To try to help them is for nought.
No matter what advice you give,
Their memory is like a sieve.

Their thinking patterns are just stuck,
And sometimes mired down in "muck".
Often they just will not try
A new idea when it draws nigh.

If they can't receive advice
They just may have to pay a price.
Pray that they will realize
And learn to seek that which is wise.

"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise."
Proverbs 12:15 KJV
