Gates of Wisdom

One of my favorite song’s states Can you pass through wisdom’s seven gates? But fate of fates On no man waits And I think to myself what who has audacity To ask such a question of me Someone who looks at stars majesty Looks but does not see Many of people I think of around my head Of cancer and other’s unkindness fell dead Makes me sad And there is no wisdom in that My honor and soul are not for sale Even if my seal was on the document which that transaction would in tale The very concept of fate not linked to body or God I will derail From the darkest pit the falcon will raise to outshine the very horizon buzzard like in the old tale
