Burden of the wise; the victory of wisdom

 

Wisdom has a burden or a thing that looks like one

For the wise knows wisdom and folly

And shall work with one

Often times called by necessity

Where feigning ignorance becomes greater than folly

To purify or annihilate say, a stranger

 

But fools know only folly

To work with

As darkness only darkness

But light shines through darkness

 

What man shall swim an ocean

In the quantum of empty ships

Save he is deceived by invisible eyes

And no trophy awaits him

 

So the wise is a captain

Weathering whirlwinds of folly

Guiding ships and sundry

To save the souls in the storm

 

If there ever be a clash of captains

Wisdom still shall sail smoothly
