Oh, it’s a poem, the definition lies largely in the intention.
However, it’s not enjoyable as a poem. It is good advice though! As noted. Just lacking in any musicality or sense of lyrical I/thou relations or story or even the irony of prophet soapboxing.

Very good advice. His other poems are much more poetic at least.
