What is wise

Location

What is wise in this world twisted in concept

What is wise when knowledge leads to destruction

What is wise when our lessons become our undoing

These questions I seek diligently for answers

Wisdom a principle thing in which true power comes

If one truly attains the scope of what is wise

None would be foolish 

For his knowledge would spread on to those deemed foolish

If one truly attains the scope of what is wise

Stomachs would not starve and boil within

If one truly attains the scope of what is wise

Destruction by mans hands would be rendered useless

What is wise once again

The true answer is none of these

For man truly has much to learn of true wisdom

Our conception renders our perception incomplete

However on the day in which we earn true wisdom

We will realize its complicated fiction

Is no more than simplistic diction

For that is what is wise
