WISDOM

When the Universe a lesson prepares to impart to some

Hapless soul,

It doesn’t just send to the person’s door a wise old man with a pole.

But the teacher, having received indication that it is time to come,

In the most inconspicuous manner then arrives.

For it is not self aggrandizement on which he or she thrives.

 

When the teacher imparts a lesson to the student,

It is in a manner deemed most effective and prudent,

And typically it is by example,

And the student will likely not know he or she is getting a sample

Of the benevolence of the Universe in action,

Without regard for short term satisfaction.

 

When a student in this manner receives a lesson from the teacher,

Never the same as listening to a preacher,

Immediately not knowing he or she is being taught,

At some other point in time becoming distraught,

Finally desperate for any solution,

He or she arrives at the incredible realization.


In the vast expanse of time and space,

It is wise to remember that all things have their time and place,

And with all its infinite wisdom,

The Universe never creates the wrong outcome.

The Secret is that wisdom comes in all shape and manner. Life's resources charts many a campaign waiting for men such as thee to partake of the 'dangles' at the tip of that pole called wisdom. I have been following you thru the reads I am enjoying and its obvious your feet are planted a la 'terra firma' and you bring us lessons worth their 'salt'.........

Very brilliant. This is the kind of poem I have been looking for. Already I feel inspired by you. I enjoy the last four lines especially, for that could not be more perfectly worded.

Thank you so much Hypothicus. I was inspired when I wrote it. And my most earnestly held desire in publishing it is to inspire others. I'm happy you are inspired and glad you like it. Hadn't seen this type of content on this site and was beginning to wonder whether I'm in the wrong place. Thanks for making contact and for your generous comments. I'll post more of this type of poem as I get the chance.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
