Be an Accountant!
Look at what they call Active Life!Look at the day of Active Men and Women!
All-day along
they contrive and consult
how to wring their profit out of
Food stock, Farm plots, and the like
But what I call an active life is this
Learn what the administration of the world is!
what place being endowed with reason holds therein!
To consider what you are yourself!
what is Good and what is evil in your Today!
What you gave today and what you took today!
Rather than being "bean-counter" ,
counting profits - day after day, -
be an
accountant of the good and evil; Give and take"
