Wiseman and wisdom

it is witnessed seldom

people may be wise

but can't surprise

others and excel

it is neither inherited

nor exhibited

it is debated

and stands related

people may be hard working

learning and cooking

but stand aimlessly joking

poking, staring and simply walking

couple your intelligence

with brilliance

adopt resilience

and silence the criticism

wise people are those

who choose?

to be in the midst of controversy

but don't surrender simply to an adversary

it is not counter with the weapons

but exchange of intelligence between humans

it is a state of mind that makes living heaven

when chased by odd circumstances or even
