  Title: Beware the Fool: A Lesson from Proverbs In Proverbs, the fool is laid bare, Their arrogance and folly, a dangerous affair, They spout their own opinions, no care, Disregarding moral truth, so unaware. The fool's heart has no room for education, Their love for evil and senseless sensation, They waste their money and time on foolish fun, Their ways are clear, to everyone. Their hotheadedness and recklessness, Get them and others into constant distress, They delight in evil and lack of discernment, Their ways lead to destruction, no argument. The fool shuns knowledge, a dangerous game, Doubling down on folly, it's such a shame, Their ways lead to disaster, never to fame, Like a dog returning to its vomit, it's all the same. Beware the fool, their ways are a trap, Avoid their path of destruction, it's a wrap, Seek knowledge and wisdom, it's a better map, For folly leads to ruin, a terrible mishap. In conclusion, the fool's ways are clear, Their arrogance a

Title: "Inequality's Veil: Unleashing Compassion" In shadows cast by this world's cold embrace, A story unfolds of worth and sorrow's trace, Where poverty's grip stifles hope's sweet breath, And value diminishes, lost in misfortune's depth. Does destitution, like tempests that rage, Rob lives of worth, trapped in an iron cage? When illness strikes, a cruel divide is seen, As hearts grow cold, compassion's flame turns lean. The poor, they suffer, silenced and alone, Their pleas unheard, their pain too often disowned, While the affluent and famed, on pedestals high, Elicit tears and prayers from every passing eye.

Yet, let us not succumb to bitter wails, Nor drown in sorrow's depths, where despair prevails, For empathy, a seed within us
