Wisdom On a Canvas

Wisdom on a canvas, expression of immortality So simple but precious, maker of destiny It is not for the prejudiced, not for bigots certainly It is for the open-minded to treasure them freely For bountiful wisdom flood the earth and the sea Some have price, merchandise, but many are for free It's just up for the feasting eye if it wants them willingly Many judge by the cover and refuse them readily For to many it's intrigue that decides the quality For it's easier to just listen than to search for reality But those who believe harness its full bounty For its worth is entwined in the lines of secrecy For many men are fooled believing absurdity For glitter can close their eyes and pretend it's reality No one dares much to unsnare the twists of history Some prefer to just judge than to dig their destiny
