Reprieve

With age comes wisdom 
or so they say
We have a few old farts here 
who seem, to have lost their way
They lack the intelligence 
to be self-aware
They sit and wonder why they are alone
and exactly how they got there
Even though you are lost
We will continue to pray for you
I know that there is good in your heart
no matter what hate you spew
I pray you find wisdom
in your hour of need
Repent and move on
maybe start with a good deed

Wisdom doesn't always come with age...not for some who continue to rant about what ever gets their goat in the poetry of others. Here's a Rumi quote for them. "What you seek is seeking you."

That's a good line, I might have to use that one. Thanks Jenna
