What Is Wisdom Poem by Mwende Mutiso

What Is Wisdom



Five old men sat in a kings court

"Wisdom is knowing right from wrong"
said one old man

"Wisdom is knowing who is right and who is wrong"
said another

"Wisdom is knowing that you don't know right or wrong"
said the third man

"Wisdom is knowing you don't know yet what is right or wrong"
said the fourth man

and on and on the counsel of old men argued
trying to define wisdom
and how to possess it

But one sat in silence
thats wisdom
