Wisdom

John Prophet

Wisdom.

What price?

What price

must be

paid?

Paid

for the

attainment 

of wisdom.

Mistakes.

How many?

How many

must be

made for

wisdom

to arrive?

Pain.

How much?

How must

pain must

be endured?

Endured for

wisdom.

“Thinker”

carved in

stone.

How many

cuts,

needed?

Sculptor’s

hammer

and chisel 

pounding

away.

How many

years

must be

suffered

through

before 

wisdom 

arrives?

Wisdom,

true wisdom

the culmination 

of the

torturous 

road.

An

arduous 

journey.

What price

needs to

be paid?
