Wisdom And Folly

It isn't folly to trod about in the dark,
but it is unwise to leave your light in the heart of your pack;
the wisdom of the wise keeps him standing,
but the folly of the foolish leaves him crouching;
those who seek power seek only to lose it,
those who seek wisdom remains one body forever with it;
the depth of a man's heart measures not his words,
but the pureness of such heart decides his deeds;
many choose their words wisely but to men remain foolish,
little acts their words wisely to the supernatural they are wise;
it is wisdom to pursue knowledge and value,
but folly to make the same mistakes over;
wisdom is not for the frail at heart,
but folly! folly!! folly!!! lies deep in the heart of all men…
