The little things of yesterday
Grow to become important
The confusion of yesterday
Clears, and wisdom grows
In its place
Ignorance is not static
Fools grow wise over time
These tiny little plants
That are indistinguishable
From one another
Grow into thick, giant trees
A mighty forest
Despise no one
Discriminate against no one
Underestimate no one
There is no soul that has no value
If you’re thinking of cheating
Think twice
You never know who is watching
Respect everybody
Small and great
