It Is Said Of Most Wise People

It is said of most wise people that they do not realize
That they are not in any way that is wise
Though in their words they never does cause offense
And they are people who are blessed of very good sense
Every day one does not  meet a sagess or sage
And not everyone does grow wiser with age
Even wise elders are few in the World of today
And no fool like an old fool as some like to say
Of a few wise politicians in government every Country in need
But of life this is asking far too much indeed
Since wisdom could not live where self interest is rife
And would not feel at home in political life
Of the needs of others the wise are aware
But sad for to say they remain ever rare.
