Wisdom
Should I slice it length ways or width-ways
Which way will be the best
To give each one a half
So from their arms the child wrest
They claim they are the mother
But each one cannot be
I wish I had the given by god knowledge
To make the decision that needs to be
Solomon must have prayed for
The wisdom needed back then
To give the child to the rightful mother
And not the spiteful hurting harridan
How he knew just what to
Was inspired of god
He knew the real mother would acquiesce
When confronted with the cutting job
How I wish to be like just like him
To make decisions and see the sense
But not only that I’d like
The wisdom to know the difference.
