The Wisdom Clock

 The Wisdom Clock

Born into light and breathing life

Living the balance of happiness and strife

Lost in the loneliness of never really knowing others

Our brain unraveling the world in layers

Grown in the government hothouse

The cat's lair with our lives the voting mouse

Love to the rescue into our family castle

We learn to escape the system's tentacles

The more we read, the more we study

The more we see the lies and the truth presented muddy

We dig in and pull harder to overcome

Our freedom and knowledge under tyranny's thumb

Yet we persist and turn to God for refreshment

Filling out minds with more academic enchantments

Beating the wrath of time and lost pursuits

To fill our vessel with treasure and good fruits

To run strong and cross the finish line

Knowing that eternity reveals all secrets in paradise sublime

But in this life honestly count one thing

Even Socrates believed that he knew nothing
