Wisdom

What does it mean to be really wise?
Is it seeing the truth among all the lies?
What’s the difference between wise and smart?
Could it be wisdom is thinking with the heart?

Is there a difference between wise and clever?
Does clever pass on and wise stay forever?
If we break down the word what will we surmise?
Why does the word “is” live in the word wise?

What do we get if we take “is” from “wise”?
Why just the word “we”, is that a surprise?
Can these words be put back in a different way?
And if they are, then what will they say?

”We is” bad grammer, but what does it mean?
If we look with our heart then what can be seen?
What is the message these words want to give?
Could it be there is wisdom in letting things live?
