Show and tell ...
Ecclesiastes 9:16
16 So I concluded that wisdom is better than might,
but a poor man’s wisdom is despised; no one ever listens to his advice.
I can’t say I understand … what it means today
To connect with one another … just to get involved
with humanity as such ………..
What is really meant … what’s left to say?
If most don’t even bother as their lives evolve
far beyond their touch ………..
It’s easily said to others how to live life in reason
and to go about their business and walk towards goals
you yourself can’t reach ………..
Like how to be a good mother in and out of season
And so to escape loneliness and act a given role
as life seems show and tell ………..
Jan Wienen
