Wisdom is the wealth of the wise
The birds that fly south in winter
Marine fishes that breed in river water
The planets that revolve around the sun
The bees that make sweet honey
The spider that weaves the web
In spring the birds knit nests!
Are they not wise?
Wisdom says the sun rises in the east
But the wise say the sun is stationary
Wisdom says Christmas falls in winter
The wise say it is Summer in Australia
Wisdom says evergreens don't shed leaves
The wise say they do it every day
These are just a few thoughts
That has compelled thinkers to think!
Thinking differently they thought
The earth is spherical, not flat
The apple fell to prove the pull
The wise said "Eureka" "Gravity"
Density and gravity were always there
Wishom makes things fall in place.
Wisdom knows when to burrow
When to hibernate
When to germinate
When to collaborate
In spring the world decorates
Autumn for it to disintegrate
The wise know how to interpret
Hibernate in winter
Collaborate in spring
Germinate in summer
Grow with the sun and rain
Bear fruit in autumn
Seeds to germinate for the new crop
Wisdom lies in the cycle of nature
Beautiful paintings are painted
Great works as a book are printed
Stars help sailors, sail the planet
Chlorophyll helps prepare food
This we know as the wise tell us so
Wisdom rescues the wise
When ignorance is on the rise!
Wisdom does not challenge ignorance
The wise can deal with the ignorant
Knowledge is wisdom
The tool of the wise
Which is used by the wise to
Deal with the ills of ignorance.
Wisdom accepts diverse opinions
Different races, cultures, creatures
Creative poems, plays, practices
The wise and enlightened do not question
They accept them as they are
In their opinion everything is right
According to time belief will change
Ignorance will turn to enlightenment
It takes time for knowledge
To spend far and wide
For the city to understand the country
And the country to understand the city
Progress to become development
Development to become interdependence
Interdependence to become international
Interestingly independent investigation
Leads to enlightenment
That spreads through the internet
Known as Artificial Intelligence
AI that rules thoughts and actions
Controls movements and reactions
Similar to intelligence
That controls the sun, moon, and stars
The plants, the animals, the fishes
Wisdom of nature,
So perfect, so well-timed,
Is it some supercomputer?
Or mere coincidence!
That rules this universe so wisely.
With so much wisdom!
Amazing but true
Many scientists,
Many philosophers,
Artists, singers, mathematicians
Magicians, spiritualists
Have tried to unravel,
No one is as wise as wisdom
The rice, potato, and egg
That boil turns soft
The coffee and tea that dilute in water
Is this some AI at work
Or plain human experience!
The water that evaporates,
Condenses, precipitates, freezes
Falls as snow!
Where life forms first appeared
In the seas, oceans, and rivers
No other planet but one has water
Why? No! Stroke of luck or chance?
Scientists, Spiritualists, Materialists
Can explain interpret
But can they change?
Can water be made?
To produce life elsewhere!
Can chlorophyll be injected?
To turn all animals into autotrophs!
These and many more questions
Are a matter yet to be unraveled
Human genius that began as animals
Hope to do it one day!
Humans are but mere animals.
Homosapiens that were chosen
Materialists of today call it AI
Spiritualists have named it God
To be transformed into the strongest
From the weakest in the forest
Wise call it wisdom
Astronomy has an explanation
So does Astrology
Biology can dissect
Civics can direct
Economics would explore
From barter to barcode
From coin to bitcoin
How the way was paved
From homosapiens to Robots!
The mind behind this methodology
Makes Mathematics calculate
The calculations can go on to infinity
Makes sense to the sane
Proves to be quite a bane
For those who use their brain
To break the chain
Of the daily mundane
To ascertain if there is nothing certain
Wisdom challenges the mundane
Wisdom is not confined to words
Musicians hear it in music
Painters see it in colors
Dancers feel it in dance
The taste of good food!
The perfume that flowers spread!
Is there any methodology?
Can it be recreated in a laboratory?
Is there an algorithm in mathematics?
That can balance this equation.
Perhaps not for there is no wisdom
As wise as the wisdom
Of this Universe
That runs every speck in it
So Perfectly
It feels like it is the universe in itself
With each fleeting day
The wise get wiser
Wisdom widens to make the wise wiser!
As Wisdom is infinite
While the thirst for the infinite
Leads the wise to infinity!
