That Wisdom Does Not Come With Age Poem by Francis Duggan

That wisdom does not come with age i have come to realize
All people grow older but few do grow wise
I used to think wisdom it does come with age
But feel lucky in your lifetime if you meet with one sage
Wars are mostly caused by males of the aging kind
Who to the lessons of war history seem totally blind
Power gone to their heads and their egos out of control
Their decisions on thousands of poor people take toll
Egotistical government leaders with great power death and suffering does create
And a lot of ill feeling towards others in their words of hate
In a wise person there is so much to admire
Since power over others he or she never desire
And when i say that wise people as ever are in the few
I am not saying anything that one can say is new.
