Paper wisdom withers
Wisdom whispers with a wistful glance.
On paper pristine, theories shine,
Yet in practice, they often decline.
Ideas ignite, ideologues assert,
Truths they tout with fervent flirt.
But when ideals meet reality's art,
They falter, fail, and then fall apart.
From visions of wealth without the strain,
To tales of equality that ended in vain,
Bold proclamations in justice's name,
Utopian dreams that never became.
Theories thrive in minds so bright,
But stumble, stagger in the light.
Experience, that ageless sage,
Turns the chapter's page.
For wisdom on paper may seem divine,
Yet practice, my friend, is the truest sign.
Adapt, amend, adjust with grace,
And theory’s truth will find its place.

Wisdom Burdens Fools
A wise man’s weight, a heavy haul,
Deep thoughts dance in a daunting fall.
Foolish fun, free from the fray,
Joyful jesters jive and play.
Sage sees shadows, subtle sighs,
Contemplation clouds the skies.
Folly finds a field of flowers,
Leaps in light, laughs for hours.
Burdens borne by the keen of mind,
Complex truths, conflicts entwined.
Bliss blooms in the simple soul,
Carefree, wild, and whole.

Entitled Power
In lands of promise, leaders rise,
