Solowise

SOLOWISE Traceable son of Adam Blood-lined to royalty; heir apparent to the throne He has everything easy for him as he pleases Amongst different choices, he chose wisdom first The elders said he was humble and not greedy Maybe the greedy and the arrogant would have chosen differently The righteous praises him for his act of righteousness God admired his spirit of selflessness and simplicity In such surprise; he was blessed with added gifts To him who has; more shall be given. Just as the bird can’t beg for wings to fly The fish can’t wish to swap water for land He couldn’t ask for what he already has that is his right Many would do anything just to be a king’s son An opportunity the fowl would embrace to be a raven By being that which we wish; we are satisfied If not completely; at least to a measurable degree A bastard born of royalty in royalty blood If my father is rich, powerful, prosperous and respected I the son, am the same; I am my father’s son. Grant me one wish I will make the one wish no one would Yet, I asked for that I do not have To be king, I am the richest Being king, I am most powerful Being king, I will need many advisers Why have so many advisers; when I can have wisdom Being king guarantees me no wisdom that is mine To have that I don’t have; I could only ask for it That in itself is wisdom.
