PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There is a timeless, fundamental truth the ancients would convey

that, when you stop to think about it, is apropos today.

lt has to do with knowledge, not the kind you gain in school,

I believe the ancients called it: the wisdom of a fool.

They tell us a fool is easy to identify.

We can spot one with our eyes.

For a fool loves to tell us how smart he or she is

how intelligent…how wise.

While a wise one is more humble.

He or she knows their knowledge is minuscule.

They understand their learning never ends

and they will call themselves…a fool.

I think as we travel down the road of life

we should make it a general rule

to dismiss the ones with foolish wisdom

and choose…the wisdom of a fool.
