Study of Wise


Study wise, human nature,
study it closely
for it is ever changing…
back to the same
of generations ago
with improvements.

Insert smile here.


Study,
lest you think you are
one of them,

[someone says, “never!”]


Listen closely to
conversations, whether they be
in front of you,
or on the side of you,
or the back of you,
as memories…

just listen.


Speak as if you are
ever inquiring,
even for answers anticipated,
raise your eyebrows…

because you might be.


When mud slings?
Duck…but if you do not duck
fast enough,
just remember,
mud is good for the complexion.

When you share confidences?
Share wisely….

For the person you might confide in
may be your friend
forever.


Then, when forever nears,
leave something behind
for those
that helped you up…

for when you cried,
or sighed,
or hurt…
or worse…

let them know,


freedom.

great words, not many follow unforuntaly too

Karilea, you are an ever-wise student of human nature. You observe, study, listen, speak, and share with your readers, that which you have gleaned. The knowledge that you have gained and then imparted to others, brings "freedom" to all!

Another brilliant write!

Warm hugs,
Linda

Always a pleasure to view your insight.  The philosopher's endless question is "What is wisdom?", but how about "Are we getting wiser?"  Love your writing.  KJ
