They Could Use It for a Few

Advice on life
Is everywhere,
And everyone
Seems to have some,

To live better,
To live smarter,
To live kinder,
To live longer.

Only a few
Wild-eyed gurus,
Tech billionaires,
And true con men

Pretend they’ve got
What should come first
To make the most
Of living life—

Advice on how
To never die.
Straighten that out,
And then, of course

It will matter,
Living better,
Living smarter,
Living kinder.

In the meantime,
Save your advice
For the microbes
And the mayflies.
