Wisdom
by George J. Carroll → (All Poetry by George J. Carroll)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Step beyond the line that is drawn,

As by itself it is naught.

We the perptrators advance

Beyond what is taught.

 

Ignorace is not learned,

It is an absence of thought.

For if we think before we talk,

So much good can be brought.

 

There is none wiser

Than the person who stops to think.

Wisdom is knowledge imparted,

Before one goes to the brink.

 

The uphill climb is tiring,

But not so the way down.

The ascent of knowledge,

Begins with a single thoughts crown.

Wisdom is hard to acquire, but so is ignorance. You have to studiously ignore all the signs and symptoms that tell you you are on the wrong path. I enjoyed reading this George and can only agree with your assessments. Bob

Thoughts are powerful movers. I always waited for the loud mouths to finish, but made sure my ideas were heard. You offer heedful advice.
