The Wisest Words were Written Long after They Were Spoken

The Wisest Words were Written Long after They Were Spoken

The wisest words are of the ages long

Ago, so long that many people now

Are not acquainted with their force.  A gong

Is struck but sounds more like an echo.  Thou

And thee are how most think of them, at best.

A few, perhaps in ivied towers of

Old Cambridge, will attend the quilled down nest

But most are tuned to etflix or the love

On sale at supermarket counters, Mills

& Boon…those thoughtless tales.  The scrolls are not

The hot list sellers.  eBay’s click, click tills

And Amazon’s both hit the shallow spot.

..But yet the measured mind and heart still know

….That something’s missing, meanings with a glow.
