Tokens of Wisdom 1

To listen gains wisdom

The young should speak less

Its fools who loath learning

That's a self destructive mind set

Wisdom is priceless

So take counsel with the wise

Take heed to the stupid

Their victims of their own demise

The wise listen to correction

And consider their rebukes

To turn away from wisdom

And wisdom will later mock you

Greed's able to consume a life

Selfishly worrying themselves to death

Always worrying about what's in it for them

Leaving no time for happiness

Wisdom is everywhere

To know her leads to a good life

If you take her for granted

You may not like the price

About the Creator

Thomas F

I was shot in the face at point blank range with a double barrel 12 gage during an strong arm robbery that quickly turned into an Attempted Murder. Although I'm missing my right eye and a bullet in my brain. I AM STILL ME & I AM STILL HERE
