Wisdom's EndPeople have always told me You grow wiser, with age, But, why is it that the fools Always seem to be at center stage? Fools seem to preach But, do they not know? Life can be shortened When you reap, what you sow. The wise stand tall Not a hair is out of place, For they, are the ones Whom care for the human race. Fools can act stupid And wage war on the world, For they care not About the hurt, that's been hurled. Before a child hits a certain age They know wrong from right, For fools can cast the stones, The wise, are their beacon of light. So, yes, I believe in this "Life long to the fool, short to the wise," For fools know not what they do Others hold wisdom, within their own eyes. Copyright Cynthia Jones Jan.24/2007 I was told (for a contest), to take this quote, "Life long to the fool, short to the wise," and write a poem out of what I thought it meant.
