The Wise and The Ignorant
Words for the wise
And silence for the ignorant.
Living life in silence
Is not truly living.
The wise know
Beauty, fame, money,
And the ignorant
Never even have a chance.
Sitting in a corner,
Behind a wall,
Waiting for the wall
To be broken down.
The wise
Assume they know better
If life is to go on,
They say,
We, the wise, must rule.
The ignorant
Can never be freed
From their prison
Of not knowing
What they could have,
What they could feel.
If only
The wise
Would know enough
To know to let them
Fly away and be free.
If only
The self proclaimed wise
Could learn to love.
