“Know Thyself’ is as old
as the Oracle Delph.
“Embrace Yourself” is on
the self-help book shelf.
“You got more nerve
than an abscessed tooth,”
is actually further proof
that others know you better
than you know yourself.
Such an epithet was
tossed the man’s way
and the man said, “That epithet
will be my epitaph
when people visit me
in the cemetery,”
proving that there is time
for you to come to
“Know Thyself” and “Embrace Yourself”
just before you are placed
on the columbarium shelf.
