Wisdom Poem by Noel Horlanda

Wisdom

Rating: 5.0


A remarkable gift
from the Creator
to human beings
is Free Will
self-consciouness,
to love one self
creativity,
to have a beautiful mind
emotions,
to love thy fellowmen
Ability to Reason and
Make Choices is one
reason the world is in
such a Mess
look around thee!
where is thy
WISDOM? Oh yea people!
Greeks and Romans
hear yea!
where art thy wise men gone?
the world’s great teachers,
where art thou Aristotle,
where art thou Seneca,
where art thou Marcus Aurelius,
where art thou Plato,
where art thou Socrates,
where art thou Cicero,
where art thou Epictetus?
the seemingly roll call of dead
yeah they’re all gone,
but their WISDOM,
remains to be digested.
a few followed, yet not understood,
ergo, the world still a Mess,
Oh WISDOM, tell me
where art thou?
