Wendy Rycroft Poet Free verse

Wisdom

How far has wisdom travelled?
Generations of clever people,
With their intelligence and inventions,
Sometimes for the good,
Others bad,
Wars ammunition guns, bombs,
Aeroplanes rockets,
How far will it go?
When did wisdom turn into terror?
Money ruling the world,
Power controlling life
Evolution quickened up,
Life and technology,
Superhuman brains
Just like computers,
Did we have brain transplants?
Just like Frankenstein,
When will wisdom be ruled by love?
Will we keep evolving?
Until we destroy the world,

Connie Marcum Wong October 3, 2016 at 4:28 PM I see a tiny bit of progress and the fact that we are able to instantly send messages to those in power to let them know our feelings as individuals and we can group together so our message is taken into consideration by our senators and congressmen. Rather than playing silly games on our tablets and phones we can actually take action for those of us who really care about our planet. I can relate to your poem that conveys a serious wise message Wendy. Well done! 7 ; ) Wendy Rycroft October 6, 2016 at 3:37 PM Connie, I have just seen your message, thank you, for responding to my poem xxx sorry it took me so long xxxxx

John Hardison October 2, 2016 at 9:02 PM Such 'wisdom'? often badly set. You are right to ask when will wisdom be ruled by Love. Peace, Love and Joy. Wendy Rycroft October 2, 2016 at 11:02 PM Thank you John x
