A Piece of Wisdom

Just wanted to tell the facts of life

                                                             What does it mean to have wisdom?

                                                 To have intellect and not make the slightest mistake

                                                             Is it wise for you to look before you fall

                                                           To start walking before you start running

                                                           Compliment your woman during a date

                                                              For people to ignore their calling

                                                         Cause an argument that turns into a brawl

                                                                     

                                                                     Is it wise to get greedy 

                                                                   And not give to the needy 

                                                                 To look ahead and not behind 

                                                              That true love is the gift of mankind

                                                                         Staying in the past

                                                                      Will bring you down fast

                                                                  

                                                                 Is it wise to hurt those around you

                                                                       Cause a fire that'll burn

                                                                    Realize that you'll begin to rue

                                                                  There's a price to pay, not to learn

                                                                     

                                                                    Is it wise to have abortions

                                                                And cease to see a kid's gratification

                                                                         Say that I am sorry

                                                                     When you're in the wrong

                                                                      To pass tales of your glory

                                                                That this is the road where you belong

                                                                 

                                                                 Is it wise to stand up for your friends

                                                                 And prove that friendship never ends

                                                                     Look at other kids with regret

                                                                         Wishing to be young again

                                                               Have another woe that'll cause you stress

                                                                 To be courteous and let somebody win  

                                                                     So tell me, is it wise..........

we all have those times in our lives where we begin to doubt everything, and the questions you ask in this piece are definitely ones that i'm sure many will be able to relate to. the rhythm and flow of this is also really great. it almost sounds like a rap in the best way possible.

Thanks :) but never intended to be a rap though lol

[Rachael32123]

You're welcome ^.^

Wisdom was once prized above the treasures of the world. Now, it seems few even care to discuss it. Thank you for posing these questions to help set a fire to our feet and have us realize we must embrace wisdom if the world is going to ever get better.
