Wisdom Wears the Crown

Place crown upon the head of wisdom
Cast eyes upon the warmth of love 
Watch evil collapse against the act of selfless kindness
With blessing bestowed from God above. 

Release the humble from its vain constraints
Flow free the goodness from your veins
Spare others endless pain
Tie alter ego up with chains. 

Silence is a mediator, a referee and judge 
When sometimes all you ever needed 
was just a little tiny nudge 
To let go of anger and holding onto grudge. 

Suffer fools and play their guitars 
Sing their silly songs with them 
Say no more when anger baits you 
Shine bright like a brand new star. 

Don’t wait for them to invite you 
Say your peace be who you are
For it is wisdom who is winner
And will always wear the crown!
