Array ( [sid] => 185167 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => How Does One Become Wise? [time] => 2018-06-01 06:47:12 [hometext] => To all young people, by no means am I insinuating that you don’t have any intelligence. What I would like is for you to learn from us older folk and turn your intelligence into WISDOM. We want you to succeed in life, because then we all succeed as humans. [bodytext] => 01:06:2018

How does one become wise?
Surely not by telling lies.
An intelligent men asks questions.
Adds the answers to his life’s lessons.
A foolish man rambles on and on and on.
Like a turkey wishing he had the mockingbird’s song.
The moment you utter untruths.
Know, those around you are not fools.
They will see through your words.
That you so foolishly splurge.
For once, be silent.
The surprise might just be pleasant.
Wisdom is a path traveled.
Not thought that have unraveled.
Remember an empty vessel make the loudest noise.
And can’t hold its false intelligent poise.

If you mean that you learn wisdom through your experiences, I agree with you (& I/'/m almost 38!).

Good write.

Great write that only comes thru wisdom.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
