Wisdom Lost
What some people achieve in a
life time
Most wouldn't accomplish in ten
They become legends sublime
More to come, there's no telling
when
These intelligent beings have
mastered there trade
They follow the path of the wise
The story is different then what
is portrayed
We all see,but there not the
same set of eyes
Wisdom is achieved through
enlightenment
There is a reason why winners
win
wisdom is there entitlement
Due to the work they put in
Most take the short road alone,
with no destination in mind
The wise take the long one with
company and put there
differences aside
People with no patience are the
blind leading the blind
The wise travel and let past
experience and passion be
there guide
Don't let impulsive thoughts
build a home in your brain
Ideas without action applied is
like a professor less College
With students locked out
waiting in the rain
The wise figure all possible
outcomes
The impulsive keep making the
same mistakes
The wise sit and ponder, how
come?
They presume its better not
to pump the brakes
The wise take heed in there
actions
knowing only themselves,is
who they will forsake
They will use the lure of
wealth,to create a distraction
To slow the Impulsive
reaction,to take
Wisdom teaches patience
Action without thought,they
repulse
The Impatient are lazy,and
complacent
And make every decision on
impulse
Inconvenience oneself, learn
from the past, think before you
move
Your purpose will show itself, a
sound Philosophy is what is
needed to improve
Assumption,and ignorance
equal guaranteed failure
Sense danger before it is an
inch away
Study history,Let it be your
savior
You're empire is not to far away
