Be Most Careful

Be careful as you age …
when they try to convince you
that your rough edges need to
come off

Be careful when they say that
“Your words need to be more
carefully chosen and more appropriate
to the politically elite”

Be careful when they threaten those
things that you have developed over
time that they will never appreciate
or understand

But be most careful when they tell  
you… “We are really your friends and
have only your best interests at heart,”
—be most careful
