A mind unclear, in darkness stays,
Unable to grasp life's crucial ways.
Money's value, lost on deaf ears,
Time's importance, through careless years.

Reality's lessons, unlearned and cold,
Opportunities lost, like autumn's gold.
Wasted hours, like falling leaves,
An empty hand, with nothing to seize.

Blind to chance, in ignorance they stray,
A life of want, in disarray.
No future planned, no goals in sight,
A life of regret, in endless night.
