Musings of an Aspiring Author and Poet

Wisdom

in

Anger cultivates adversaries

And corrupts the heart and soul.

Intolerance grows like a clinging vine from this poison.

Are we so bold as to think ourselves above another,

The epitome of a self-righteous god?

Enemies will sprout from every dispute if this be true,

Of this I am confident.

Correct thinking and love are our allies,

Understanding  this, is a sign of wisdom.

.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~
