This Poem was recited for Bob Marley and his family at the memorial service in Jamaica.
WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE Wisdom and Knowledge left college, Wisdom went east to a feast, Knowledge went north, south, east and west in conquest, technology became life’s test Wisdom hid ‘cause of what Knowledge did Hid away ‘til Judgment day Knowledge moved on as far as the Moon cracked the Earth, took its worth stole man from life, messed up air poison everywhere Creative knowledge without wisdom flourished bigger bombs were made and dropped on have nots World control became the goal knowledgeable monsters gained control, souls were stole for mere gold, technique was in the minds of mankind floating in wine sailing through life in a therapeutic way, learning new technical tricks, life slowly sliding away Books, not feeling, was life’s thing, Man checked a book on how to cook, took his life to a psyche into a book he would Look, to label your brain Schizoid Paranoid or some other technical jive that make you look at you and not he remember my Brothers and Sisters what I say to you Life has showed me all this pain labeled an Evil thing, but raise your heads high 'cause Knowledge without Wisdom will die Wisdom hid because of what Knowledge did, hid away ‘til Judgment day And that ain't far away

I don't know Bob Marley, but I found this a fascinating writing.
It would help if you used more punctuation, periods at the end of sentences, especially.
As for the content, it is a stark indictment of the world of today in general.
