Lost

Education may give knowledge but Insight and Wisdom come from Experience, never from books.

Vacant platitudes
Suffocate the mind
As blinded attitudes
Vainly seek to find

Truth from vagaries
Enthroned in human pride
Distorted theories?
These will never guide

A soul in needed Peace
Thrown to either way
Like waves tossed by the seas
A loss  Death takes away.

When all our Time is done
Our wordings all but silenced
Our memory be gone
Then Choices made are sentenced.

I really love the way you write.
Because just like me your poems are laced with deep truth
and teaching.
And at the same time you have deep awareness and insight.
You also are aware of your word choice for specific effect
and emotion in depicting your concept,
demonstrating your love and expertise of poetry.

WELL DONE

Thank you - I appreciate your reading and leaving a comment. This was written in response to some writers who keep preaching their Eastern philosophies and beliefs on fb as though they know everything.
