Wisdom doesn't do

 + wisdom doesn't do +
The dead do not speak
Their time was then not now
They had the wisdom of those before
Now we have their here
And finding how fallible life's perceptions are
How we struggle to make right
What we do or should
Are we to leave those after
Any better wisdom than the dead
To state all troubles past were ours
All troubles present are yours
And it is up to you
To struggle to make right
What to do or should
In the world of yours.
