Thoughtful Advancement

Every man is free to rise as far as he is able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he'll rise.
~Ayn Rand
 
Thoughtful Advancement
 
Climb impetuously the tree of life
With no thought, no plan
Go branch to branch upward and onward
A swiftly advancing man
 
Luck may have it you will reach the top
Pretty much unscathed
For that to happen with many men
I'd be pretty much amazed
 
Thoughtlessly climbing, only looking up
With only versitality
Pitfalls are there to be reakoned
With even mass calamities
 
For the branches of life are sometimes frail
And will snap beneath his weight
And man goes tumbling down again
In his radom thoughtless state
