Whats Wisom

Wisdom is for whom?
Everyone, there’s enough for all to consume.
Where is this wisdom of which you speak?
Wisdom is everything & everywhere one seeks.
Seriously, I want to find this wisdom but to search I know not where to begin
Once more I must tell you again, wisdom is everywhere within all truths and all sins
Wisdom Is knowledge, power, and enlightenment
Wisdom lies in poverty stricken families and even government
No, that’s not wisdom that’s not enough, 
That’s not close to wisdom that’s just political, spiritual, and crafty worded stuff
Wisdom is being able to type real fast, 
Finding smarter ways to make lots of cash
Wisdom is being able to get lots of fame 
Wisdom is all about the personal gain.
What is with you? Wisdom my child is not about an IQ
Wisdom is knowledge and learning a new
Wisdom is Awakening the potential within you.
Well hell, I would rather be famous then have knowledge
Well that’s swell, I would rather find inner peace and attend college
See that’s the difference from your wisdom and mine
You would rather learn and I would rather shine
You made your point for that may be true 
but however were both correct as I knew
I said wisdom was everything and all forms 2
Wisdom is recognition and usage of what the good lord has giving to you.    WiSoM

Oh James very nice. According to the allegiance of your heart it could be debated endlessly but I agree wisdom starts with the recognition of God. Laurie

Wisdom can be perceived as many things - To me Wisdom is knowing the best usage of knowledge obtained - On a spiritual plane of course - God Bless, MJ
