Where told this is it.

we must do that.

 

Impossible to sort the chaff from the wheat, the lean from the fat..

 

With scales on eyes and stops in ears, 

 

It's hard to see and harder to hear. 

 

Who are the winners?

 

I don't know. 

 

Could be that looney I meet on the track, the one that's all smiles and never looks back 

 

Or maybe that widow that lives down the way, helping others, busying her day 

 

With man's knowledge, what has he gained?

 

More ways to slaughter, more ways to enslave..

 

We have knowledge 

 

Aren't we proud 

 

All is lovely, down hear, on the ground..

 

Follow us, we teach joy

 

To every girl and every boy

 

From barbie doll's

 

And all the obscene 

 

Dredged for your pleasure 

 

From our latrine..

 

Like a fool to the stocks 

 

In over his head

 

Sold the life

 

Bought the death.

 

The word polluted now festering sores..

 

The same will slay 

 

It is his sword...

 

Knowledge is not wisdom 

Wisdom is not fact

 It's higher than the heavens 

The simple know that. 

 

Only wisdom knows the end from the beginning, and if you think you are right..

 

Well, he'll just be grinning. 

 

What will be will be

 

She has the last say

 

But in the meantime 

 

Best redeem the day 

 

The truth is there 

 

Hidden under a cloud 

 

It can't be told

 

It must be found.

    And that wisdom can’t be conjured up but received!
