Wisdom
To properly bestow,
the gift of wisdom.
It must be offered up,
with no expectation of compensation.
Wisdom must be accepted,
with the sole intent.
It’s express goal,
all mortal’s existence, shall be enhanced.
Should the fruits of wisdom,
be harvested, dispersed,
and applied to the destruction
of the gift of life.
Then this produce shall sour,
and its bane.
Be redirected and envenom,
those who would desecrate this blessing.
