Wisdom Does Not Have An Age To It Poem by Francis Duggan

Wisdom does not belong to the aged i have come to realize
I know of a few young people who are wise
And i know of a few ageing and aged not wise in any way
That wisdom does not have an age to it only true to say
The not wise they are many the wise they are few
And this is not saying any thing that is new
Some silly old leaders have started a war
And send soldiers to die for them to Lands afar
That few of the wise are entrusted with power seems a sad thing to say
So many arrogant leaders in the World of today
But having said that it has always been this way
For lack of wisdom and compassion in our leaders some price for us to pay
I know of a few young people who are very wise
And that wisdom does not have an age to it i have come to realize.
