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
