WISDOM, by                    
First Line: You ask, what is it to be wise?
Last Line: It is a gift that lovers of the truth receive.
Subject(s): Truth


You ask, what is it to be wise? --
To see the truth behind a world of make-believe
And penetrate the shrewd disguise
That crafty seekers after wordly power achieve
By any means they can devise.
It is a gift that lovers of the truth receive.
