THE WISE AND THE FOOLS
No, do not engage with fools
They’ll always pull you down.
You might be a hero but
They would call you a clown.
Better engage with the wise,
Enemies though they be.
They won’t hit below the belt
With a sadistic glee.
If the wise can’t make a point,
They won’t enter debate.
But, without knowing the cause,
The fools would agitate.
God, your will prevails yet I
Most humbly do this tell:
Spare me the fools of heaven,
Give me the wise in hell.
