wisdom arrives
not from wizards in caves
not from thoughts in books
not from intellectual conversations
or from common sense looks;
it does not always develop from experience
or conclusions drawn from case studies
and especially not from the wealthy
or those in poverty as they either broke
or were victims of the rules;
wisdom arrives
only when the mind and body
are too weak to fight anymore
and one realizes that
in death
there is either more
or there is not.
