Wisdom read but unheard, Is truly an injustice Why must the world suffer fools, That know not the difference Between ignorance and knowledge, Wisdom is felt from the heart And sung with the breath, A million ills can be righted With one wise counsel, Joy can be grasped with caution, Not with haste and recklessness Hear my words, And take heed of my warnings Wisdom should be heard and felt, Not taken for granted
