silly and daft

Off the way they strayed

Far from the wise counsel they stayed

All efforts to teach them were delayed

To their end many were left dismayed

Off they went without restrain

Words given to them were taken as constrain

They could not learn to refrain

Alas one could escape to tell who to remain

Look far beyond that ledge

You will see clear a broken hedge

There many with no values merge

Stay away and stand far on the edge
