Dang...if only everyone listened to those two lines....

Hiya,
Pretty much what Teo said. Great idea, but this is a little too short and undeveloped to be a poem. It really needs some details to give it substance. Otherwise, it just seems like a saying that people have had since... well... Plato's time.
I will say, though, that I like the simplicity you've got now. If you could retain the same feeling of simplicity, like a haiku, but somehow make what you're saying more interesting or deep or thought-provoking, I think you'd have a winner here.
"Wise men speak when they have something to say, fools when they have to say something." -Plato
After all, I am a wise fool.
I think you should elaborate on this. This is a great topic to write a poem about. If you don't, I will!
