What Solomon Knew.
Who would be wise, then,
and know what it is to be wise?
Who would be wise,
with an eye toward moving the entire race forward
into something more akin to wisdom
than this madness we know now.
Now!
Madness. Mood Swings. Jealousy. And Joy!
Where is wisdom in the face of this insanity,
and petty quarrels,
and selfishness left free to multiply
with reckless abandon.
Who would be wise, then,
and know what it costs to be wise?
Who would bear the cost,
and the horror of knowing,
and seeing -
what is wisdom,
and what is not!
Who would take the choice,
and the chance!
Give up freedom, and a blind eye,
in favor of the ugly truth that follows us throughout our imperfection!
Who was Solomon,
and why?
