Triforce of Wisdom (Part 2 of 3 Poetry Set)

Posted on April 8, 2013 by Charles Yallowitz

Wisdom

Essence of the sage

Balance to blind intelligence

Giving sight beyond the eyes and heart

The holders of wisdom are rarest of all forms

For false sages speak believing they hold the keys

But their words of thought are hollowed by a biased mind

The true wise-ones speak for all and hope to change the world

But for all their acts to help the world, they are too easy to encage

Pinned beneath the thumb of one who wants their influence for their own

(Entry for Ranting Papizilla poetry month)
