When Wisdom Flies the Coup

The day wisdom flies the coup, Is the day we will need to rally round hope, And hang on tight to love with more than just rope. Who could blame wisdom if it decided to fly the coup, When we don't bother to keep it in the loop, As even lower we stoop. I pray we can restore wisdom to the top of the heap, Before it flies the coup, With few in the group that can entice it back through the hoop.

Coincidentally, I just read in James this morning (paraphrased) "If you need wisdom, as God for it for he will give it freely to you...." Your poem is so needful.

Thank you. Wisdom often comes with age and we are not looking to our elders enough for advice. Regards David
