Wisdom: Wise Words

to have wisdom is better than being strong
and your wise words should flow like a song
spoken quietly with honest intent
sincere in their message and content

wise words are to be used as a persuasive tool
and not to be shouted by rulers of  fools
but if they are spoken from a man that is poor
to people they lose their ardent fervor
but if spoken by a man of considerable wealth
society will cleave to those words unto themselves

wisdom can't be bought nor purchased at any price
wisdom is a learned thing from an experienced life
