It Is Said We Do Learn

It is said we do learn from life every day But some men don't grow wiser they grow old and gray But then wisdom never grows on the bushes and trees Nor can one acquire it through uni degrees But ignorance is bliss it does seem this way And no fool like an old fool as some like to say War started by ageing men for young men to fight in and die That age does bring with it wisdom is surely a lie Though the praises of heroes of battles many love to sing The human lust for power is an addictive thing It is leaders desperate to cling to power create us against they By sending their troops into battle in war zones far away We do learn as we live as some do like to say But some never learn they just grow old and gray.
