Poetry Sampling

**So this poem is one where I just pulled various lines from previous poems and stuck them together to make a new poem.  The words in bold were added to make the line work.

Hello, my name is Wisdom 
I am your helper and your friend, 
Come to my side and hold my hand 
As we stroll through this maze called life. 
Can you begin to imagine Life where we all get along? 
Don't try to make me just like you,!
Here on earth some divisions are clear, 
and many divisions are far and wide. 
And I would like to think 
That the devil doesn’t fiddle BUT
The devil was the conductor  
AND he sits first chair.
SO he lied to you about the quality of the show, 
Life screams and tempos tosses 
The fact that devil had the details 
The lie was wrapped so brightly, 
and it was advertised just right.
