Wisdom, Love, Fools & More % Poem by Tom Zart

The wise listen to increase their learning
Where the scorners of wisdom shut their mind.
The hearts of the prudent gather knowledge
For a soul without love becomes confined.

Knowledge can help fulfill our dreams
Though with wisdom are times of grief.
For knowledge removes the veil of ignorance
Exposing within the liar or thief.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet
More than the loud shouts of screaming fools.
Wisdom and knowledge cause stability
In the lives of any who use them as tools.

We should shun with wisdom all which is evil
And glorify by action all that is good.
Better is the gift of learning than gold
For by virtue we become what we should.

When we fail to control the rage of our words
What is easy to say becomes hard to forgive.
Words are visions that portray our intent
The better we communicate, the better we live.

THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART?
