Hello My Name Is

Hello, my name is Service I am happy to help you today. Please don’t take advantage of me because, I am not inferior to you. Hello, my name is Joy. Don’t confuse me with Happy. My strength is inner content No matter what my emotions show. Hello, my name is Inner Peace, And I am what you want to find. I am not surface deep or even shallow. My veins feed the heart and soul. Hello, my name is Every Lie You Were Ever Told And yes, I have many faces, Many fronts for you to see. I have a great costume called Truth, And another costume called Acceptance. When I show up my favorite first front is Popularity But call me out and I will name you a Conspiracy Theorist. I will rally against you And guilt is my favorite card to play. Hello, my name is Wisdom I am your helper and your friend, But I only come when you let me. I will not be where I am not wanted. I will not come where I am not called. My strength is in experience That makes me different from the rest. If you choose to use me That is great by me I will use the past to guide you through the present And call out the lies you were told Stick with me beside you Because I will guide you.

But who can trust Wisdom to be really Wisdom? Isn't that like trusting Trump's "Truth Social" to be truthful? Aloha!

I guess a good source of wisdom is helpful and certainly some sources are better than others.
