Wisdom
People admire intelligence
It gets us a head-start in life;
It gets us good jobs and high salary on us shower
It gets us status and power;
But intelligence is not wisdom!
Wisdom is doing the loving thing when in doubt,
It is being righteous, not self-righteous;
It is being considerate rather than rude,
It prefers to be kind rather than being vengeful;
Wisdom is mastering evil with good.
Being intelligent is inadequate without wisdom
Wisdom is the moral guide to self-control;
Pandering to self leads to pride
And self-indulgence;
Self knowledge, self control is the key to wisdom.
Wisdom comes from GOD
Ask HIM for wisdom to guide
All that we do;
It leads to living in peace
In harmony and social well-being.
