Wisdom

The winds of wisdom 
blow steadily from east
to west and from 
north to south sometimes 
from one and sometimes 
from all the all
of wisdom’s winds fury
is called a torrent 
a storm of madness 
too much to bear
except for a very 
few who can withstand 
and even fewer who 
can absorb and afford 
jeer not those who 
seem speechless for just 
like babies unable to 
utter a single word 
they likely know far
more and soon forget 
what before birth learned
