TRUE WISDOM

quote by Confucius..."By three methods we learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is the noblest; second, by imitation, which is the easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest."

TRUE WISDOM

From what will all his wisdom come?

Of his self reflection should it be?

Must he learn from what he has said and done?

To alter his true identity?

Such a noble search reflection reveals

A good man will find himself inside

Should he find deeds that are best concealed

Tainted truth can't bring him pride

Is his wisdom a source of imitation?

Just a clone of things he met along the road?

A wise man holds his own revelation

From his own experiences, not what he is told

A great man of wisdom is well traveled and tried

Calloused hands, a tired soul

Wisdom earned from scars inside

A man holding knowledge from actions bold
