You're a hard audience, Geoff. Too directive and too vague in the opening 3 lines!And there was me thinking the first two verses wereok. Ha-ha!I'm not so keen on betoken now - originally I had "figure the future". Does that make sense?
Yes, flatter is more correct.
Agree on "might be too" also.
Thanks, Geoff. It's good to get other views. I can't agree with the "preachy" comment. I've read many preachy poems and this has more subtlety, I think.

Before criticising a person, try walking a mile in their shoes. Then when you do criticise them, you're a mile away.....and you have their shoes.
