Guaranteed Is Wisdom To Earn Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Ignorance to fight against it,
Will take God to intervene.
And a World wide miracle,
To win this battle.
Defeating ignorance until it leaves.

Unending greed and feasting,
On visions of prosperity for all.
Has left many defying,
Dead end roads and the warning...
Of walls constructed to prevent anyone,
Deluded to climb them.
Only to find too late,
An escape that delays a painful fall.

And here we are,
Facing a truth unbelievable to accept.
Although the consequences to pay for them,
Has left many battling against ignorance...
Hoping their experiences,
Will leave an impression on the youth today.
To use their minds before they decide,
The chasing of rainbows and that pot of gold...
Are analogies of hard work to perform.
With discipline, motivation and incentive kept,
Knowing the only thing this guarantees...
Are lessons to learn and wisdom to earn.
And this to obtain is success!
