ON WISING UP  II

      By taking thoughts and actions that are wise,
      We help ourselves and others realize
      What is of highest value in our lives,
      Producing a community that thrives.

      It’s wisdom, then, that reckons what is best
      (All things considered well and put to test)
      Then kindly acts with prudence and great care:
      Considerate, compassionate and fair.

              Ironically, however, we may find
              Sometimes we must be cruel to be kind.
