The Very Wise Only A Few

The boys of the fifties and sixties are the ageing grandparents of today But it does not mean a fellow is wiser though the years have left his hair looking gray Yes some as they age do not grow wiser one must wonder why this must be? On the way that the human mind works psychologists cannot agree Through the decades I've known many people and of the many a few that are wise Though I too am one lacking in wisdom of which I have come to realize With age I have not grown any wiser though in that I'm not in a minority There are millions all around the World quite lacking in wisdom like me One cannot buy wisdom with money 'tis something one cannot buy or sell Many wealthy people not insightful though financially they do quite well The not so wise are in majority and the very wise only a few In saying that I am stating a known fact and that is not saying anything new The boys of the fifties and sixties are ageing the clock on our lives ticks away But few of us grow old and wiser does that seem a fair thing to say?
