A letter to Dwight

A letter to Dwight

To my brother,

Who has been offered the overdressing of the corporate world,

But chooses the simple wear of modesty, Who has been trained in the

complications of aloofness and self righteousness

But chooses the wise teachings of care, concern and consolation,

Who had been offered the path of false pride and fakeness

In order to associate with the wealthy and neglect the poor,

But refused that path for the down to earth walk of genuineness

And relations with all walks of people The time has come for you to choose a wife

For your youth is decreasing

And your need for companionship is growing,

bet wisdom be your guide so you can find the right match,

For the wife of wisdom is joy.

You must know the woman that walks with true love

For her seeds will grow into joy.

Be aware of the woman that goes from club to church

Searching for a man like a business opportunity.

She enters into a relationship

Like a bank enters into a loan with a borrower,

Her body and companionship is the loan And your finance and promise of riches Is the collateral she seeks.

Her dreams are not to love a man

But the lifestyles he offers.

She would encourage you

To give up your manhood and sell your soul

So she can keep the lifestyles she desires.

She sees children as inflation When the relationship is good And as an investment when the relationship is bad.

As long as you are in a relationship like

this

There would be an emptiness that cannot be filled,

A passion that cannot be served

And a love that cannot be expressed. And the day your fortunes slip”

She will not stand at your side.

She would pull that loan so quickly That your soberness would be challenged

And while you wonder where did the years go?

She would be looking to maximize her bargain

For she had recorded every deed she has done (did?)

And put a price next to it to increase the sum of the loan.

And she would use her children to drive up the interest rate.

Search for the simple woman with good virtues

Who is contented with your love, Consoles you on unkind days,

Lifts you with whispers of

encouragement

And you both build a bond

That is stronger than the challenge of life.
