The Old Wise Man
Not long ago, I met an old man
Life is hard and easy, go with it
Take it or leave it, said the old man
Take it or leave it, one can understand
I recall the old man who said it
Life can be rough and soft too when you stand
Having a hard life, one can take
The old man said,

A Not So Wise Man Once Said
Is it right for you
Is it want you want
A fake dream made of lies
You’ve been designed to just push-on
Consume and pay for this
Consume and pay for that
Before you’re in your thirties
A lifetime full of debt
Stiff upper lip
What a load of crap
Swallow all the pain and stress you want
It’s your heart attack
Do you ever stop and

The Wise Man
The Wise Man
Ever seeking the answers of the universe
To a myriad of baffling, unsolved theories
Delving deeper, within thoughts so diverse
Exploring all the mystifying profound queries
He sits alone immersed in his inner tranquility
Within an aura of peace surrounding him whole
Understanding many wonderful things a possibility
In this realm, peaceful serenity his ultimate

A wise man surely you are, well maybe.
Wise man, you are so funny and comical even though you have no big red noise or floppy hat.
Wise man you are blind knowing all supposedly but knowing almost nothing indeed.

All Things Galore
All Things Galore
by Michael R. Burch
(for my grandfathers George Edwin Hurt Sr. and Paul Ray Burch, Sr.)
Grandfather,
now in your gray presence
you are
somehow more near
and remind me that,
once, upon a star,
you taught me
wish
that ululate soft phrase,
that hopeful phrase!
and everywhere above, each hopeful star
gleamed down
and seemed to speak of times before
when you clasped my small glad hand
in

Who Is the Wise Man-
Who is the Wise man?
Son of man speaks to me;
Speak to the people my words;
The commandments of life;
Reaches and teaches me;
Don’t you let them think twice;
And who as the wise man;
And who is the wise man;
Who is the wise man, is it you or is it I
Who’s the man with the Holy ring;
Who is the

Wise Man
Wise Man
Just as the leaves begin to fall
He gazes knowingly down at his crystal ball
Just as he suspected after this summer long
He’d be alone for awhile so to collect his thoughts
He’s not damaged or timid
Nor wicked at all
He’s just known since he was very young
That silence is better

The Wise Man
Oh wise man,
The furrws on your forehead
Say you cultivated
your years
And harvedted excellent fruits
You used your moments to distill
Life's problems,that turned your hair gray
Your eyes are sunken deep ,why?
Sharp realites pushed back them,that's why?
Tell me why the rich in golden couch lie
The poor die many times before they die?
"Boy,Wealth is a gift given by God
To share
